I say do away with having your votes disappear when you edit a poem. What's the point of losing all the votes so you can fix typos and mispellings and such?

It's to prevent someone from completely changing a poem after it's garnered many high votes, say, to something completely unrelated.
When a poem gets edited it brings it back to the top and the people who voted have a chance at seeing it again. If they want to change their votes they can. I still think the loss of the votes is a bad idea.
