You're the only one who sees that. It just tells you you're the only who can edit your post.

The classic use of the edit function is to say something offensive or inflammatory, thereby stirring the pot, then remove it before you get quoted for posterity.

If it really bothers you, log out. The red text, "edit post", disappears.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
