Sure.

But... Why not?
This is the way I've done it since time immemorial whenever 1) my post is still the last post, 2) has not been asterisked by any Admin/Master Assassin, 3) there are no A/MAs logged on and 4) the time of day makes it likely that the post remains unread.
I try to avoid double posts whenever possible, and see no reason to inflate my post count if avoidable.

The world is asynchronous. I was deleting the first two when you edited, and almost missed the additions.

Fair enough. I must've overlooked your presence before I started the edit. On a technical note, the system alerts me if I try to submit an edit to a post that has been edited by an admin while I was typing. In which case I would do a quick C&P, cancel the edit and make a new post. I assume a similar warning would be sent your way if by extreme coincidence I were to submit my edit in the short interval between you opening the post (to type two *s) and clicking Submit. But if you want separate post, you'll get separate post.

There is no warning if the text has changed between my reading it and clicking “Edit”.

But who cares? Just do as I say. :-)

Easy one.
From Norway (spelt in a funny language, probably Russian with Latin letters), with interest in Cyrillic letter. Anyway, the whole profile is just shouting spam bot.
No hits on google or SFS.
Web site leads to an unspeakable place. (I'm washing my eyes with soap and regret testing it. Don't try it!)
Please kill this fast.
