I fill in the reason box depending the reason I had for editing.
On one other forum I used to visit, it became netiquette to add in your ETA reasoning....mainly because people used to throw out insults then edit them so it looked like the other person was over reacting, blah blah blah.
If I only edited for spelling, grammar or layout...I dont bother.
If I changed something drastically because it looked bitchy (mood driven) or just sounded wrong or it is a long time after posting...I will put in an explanation
