So, should I really make an "EDIT" disclaimer all the time here on HN?
IMHO, no.
Personally, I only add an EDIT disclaimer if I'm substantially altering the original post. For me that usually means adding additional explanation / context / citations / etc. below the original content. I'd say I rarely change a post in a way that radically alters the meaning of something I already said. But if I do, I'll add an EDIT marker.
I definitely don't bother with that for fixing typos, simple grammatical errors, punctuation, etc.
