Facebook: Remove or Remove.

You can see from this screenshot, that when you point your mouse on "pen" sign above your post, you see the sign "Edit or Remove".

How often you wrote something wrong on your wall and wanted to immediately change it? I think many frequent facebook users would be glad to have an opportunity to edit their own texts - everybody has opportunity to edit their comments under your posts, why you wouldn't have opportunity to edit your post?

No, its better to complicate things by misleading us into some weird menu which even doesn't has "promised" Edit option (as stated in "Edit or Remove" sign) Btw why they didn't called it "Remove or Remove", since there's no Edit and no Remove button in offered menu options, there's only Delete option:

See, that's all they can provide us. Don't edit your posts, just delete them then repost them again.
I have nothing against prohibiting users to edit posts, I just really hate when interface isn't predictable, in this case I in particular don't like the "Edit or Remove" sign which kinda lies to you that you can edit this post, while in fact you can only "Delete..." it.

InM... Waiting for major interface upgrade from facebook mostly to fix all of the annoying old interface problems and absence of flexibility.
