Stunned by the events here in Plymouth, I heard and saw the helicopters landing last night and it all happened a few hundred yards from me...

If this where in the US, it would be business as usual.
'You referring to HRH Princess Ann dropping in at Princess Yachts and The Box, or what?
Thats a few hundred meters. Man, it was all over the news in Holland.
The world is full of insane these days..

Thanks, Neil/Karl.
Not a word about that over here that I've seen.
Probably because there are more people killed during lunch hour in Chicago (and a few other cities over here) every day.

It was reported here in the US.
I started my reply on the phone, but found I couldn't edit...okay, so here is waht I was going to say. I saw it on most major US news sites. Not sure why you couldn't find it. More info coming out on the perp.
To find any particular news item, one has to know what it's about! 'Have to be able to input at least a few relevant specifics before Google can come up with it. All I had to work with was helicopters in Plymouth on Thursday...and all that netted me was HRH's 'chopper' showing up there!
Inputting "A gunman in southwest England killed five people" got the job done. ;-)
I was trying to say that I actually heard about it first on major US news feeds...no googling required. Then I googled "Plymouth UK" and it was all over the place.

In the build thread forum, you can. There is an edit link in the bottom of your own posts for you to select. In most (all?) of the other forums, you have only 15m (I think, or at least it used to be, may be gone now) to make any edits and then your post becomes a "permanent" part of the internet.

Actually, can confirm. I posted the above and there was no edit option. The 15m thing does not exist.
"I was trying to say that I actually heard about it first on major US news feeds...no googling required. Then I googled "Plymouth UK" and it was all over the place."
I Googled the same thing (and variations a well) and all I got was the coverage of HRH Princess Ann's visit.
"How the heck does one edit a post after submitting it?"
It's always been my experience that after 15 mins or so one can't. No "edit" option will appear in the lower right hand corner of the post.
WHY that's the case I have no idea.

I believe it's a philosophical decision by the moderators to encourage us to think before posting because your words become permanent. Drop Ron a note for more detail.
