Understood. Something to discuss but I'm not so concerned about this particular detail. I think there are other ways to handle it such as allowing a user that intends to copy content to simple create a copy of the node as their own with an attribution. Pinning means you want to keep track of that actual comment because the thread itself would interest you. So there is a distinction. I think simply sending emails again when the original owner edits the comment is sufficient. But only if changes are made after a certain period of time like 1 hour.

Agreed. The idea of triggering emails on edit after X minutes/hours is pretty nice.

But I've an improvement, which stems from my Reddit usage.

One thing I noticed about reddit is that they don't really give attention to this issue, which really only matters with emails, as notifications are able to reflect the most recent item's text. I tend to edit my posts quite a lot, usually within a short time frame ~5 minutes. Be it grammar, a mistake, or just addition of content. So here's the idea: Wait X minutes after the last edit and then trigger the first email. Email tends to not be a call to immediate action anyway; notifications could serve that purpose.

I think that is worth trying.
