Without a time limit on editing it would be possible for someone to go back to really old posts and completely change them to nonsense and/or spam. Finding that in ancient posts is much harder than in fresh ones. I like to think that no-one here would want to do anthing like that, but with thousands of members (and more scores coming in each time oil prices budge) anything is possible. Some of the other forums I attend have much shorter edit times - from 0 on one to 30 minutes on another - so EM's 300 days isn't that bad.
I've also needed to change dead links in my old posts once in a while and one of the Mods was very helpful after I PM-ed him. I suspect that asking the Mods for help is the best way to go.
