Is it not good to write "anybody is welcome o update the answer cheerio!" once you complete answering a question?

I wouldn't say it's bad, but I would say it's unnecessary.

Explanation:

I think with all Socratic answers, it's completely acceptable to have multiple contributors. I'm happy for anyone to edit my answers as long as the editor is accurate and doesn't plagiarize. Even if this means my answer is edited so much that I'm no longer the sole or main author, the focus should be on providing quality answers to questions and teaching others. I've definitely gone ahead and edited other people's work, and I hope they're okay with this, knowing that editing and improving answers is a part of Socratic.
