While it's certainly nice for people to read all edits, on the flip 
side, people should be expected to post at least a few words in the edit 
summary, especially for significant changes.  Something like "deleting 
rant" would be sufficient.  Making large changes without so much as a 
single word in comment (in either the edit summary or talk page) is 
rather discourteous.
