Give me one reason why a blog admin would like to worry about something which is not visible to readers?

venk, I have a private blog (which will be public soon). I hate looking at the spanners even if it's just me that can see it.

It 'ruins' the look of the page and is just damn annoying. They do have the option to remove the quikedit pencils.

Simply because you fail to see why some people may want it gone doesn't make those reasons invalid.
