Then slow down and take a breath before hitting the reply button the first time. Pausing and then rereading and proofing as needed rather than fast-paced posting with fast-paced follow up edits is the way to go. This is coming from someone who also used to very often tweak my posts after initial posting.

Fair enough, I tend to over use edit on HN more than other sites because I never cared to win flame wars, but it does help improve the quality of the replies you get from people, as seen here. So noted.
