Let OP update closed posts in AskMe

This is perhaps indulgent, but it would be potentially useful in ask.mefi if the instigator of the thread could post just once after the thread has been frozen. Some questions resolve after several months, and it would be a possible benefit for those googling for information to see closure, i.e. "this is what ended up working the best, x was right" or what have you. Perhaps this is just imposing a false narrative closure on messy reality.

It's a good point. I've noticed that as well.

Yeah, I need to add some sort of follow-up capability.

Hehe. We're getting you trained. The first time Fiona asks for a pony you're just gonna shrug and hand one over.

Cool Matt, that would be great.

Awesome! I ask because some of those threads are like elegant little mini-faqs, and capping them off with a followup sorta makes them into portable little nuggets o' wisdom.
