"Fixed it for you" posts are fairly common on most of the forums I frequent and are used to point out errors or, more commonly, to change the meaning of a quote for humorous effect. Doing so without mentioning that you have done it is generally considered very bad form, although even then it is usually pretty obvious to anybody reading the thread what has been done.
I suppose I could go back and edit the quotes back to their original form and then change my part of the text to include the modified version of the quote. Seems like a waste of time though, given that it is obvious what is being done.

Nah, I wasn't reading correctly, and just was thinking the actualy posts were being edited. My error.
