so, i'm relatively new to serverfault/stackexchange, though not to systems administration. i've posted only a few answers here so far. in the last day, two of my posts were edited by other users. i get it, creative commons, etc - i've been editing on wikipedia for many years, have 10k edits there, i know how it works. if i don't like it, tough noogies.

but as a matter of, well, i dunno, courtesy? i find it rather annoying to have someone come in behind me and *fix my lack of capitalization*. 

i've habitually written like this for longer than i can remember (and for the young'uns, that means at least thirty years now). it's a stylistic choice. *where necessary/appropriate*, i'll use proper uppercase/lowercase. in the relatively informal setting of the internet, and a gathering place where one's expertise is what matters, it seems a bit passive-aggressive to be editing another bloke's words for such a trivial reason.

another post that was edited also fixed the caps, but in addition did some trimming of what i wrote to conform to what that author apparently thought was nicer wording or style - perhaps a touch less verbose than it initially was. still, it strikes me as a bit passive aggressive. the actual useful information of both posts was unchanged - and isn't it the informative content that matters? editing other's posts wily-nily for stylistic reasons just seems rather in-your-face. 

if my posts had typos, i'd have no issue with someone bouncing in and fixing them for clarity, that seems an appropriate fix of someone else's post. likewise, if i wrote something largely correct but left out a 'not' or something that completely changed the meaning, sure, go ahead and fix the error. but my writing style? really? 

hey, this is 'meta', so i figure it's worth asking what others think of this.
