Testing... EDIT: Edited. I can still edit... Edits to posts on HN have "always" been time-limited (where "always" is defined as being for as long as I've been using HN). Are you asking if the timeout changed?

Are you asking if the timeout changed? No, the timeout was clearly different for that particular post! It was well under two minutes, if it was nonzero at all. I never got to edit the post even once, and I normally catch grammatical errors and edit 2 or 3 times just after the first post. I'm wondering if there was some sort of "secret flagging" that happened. Also note my karma. I've been around here for quite awhile. I know what is normal behavior for the HN editing functionality and what is divergent. EDIT: I too can generally edit comments, clearly. That is not what I was saying.
