So, what's the time limit to edit a post?

And is it an absolute limit? Does the clock start ticking from the time of my initial posting? Or does it get renewed each time I subequently edit my post?

What happens to the pre-edit post? Is it gone? Did it ever exist? Can it be recovered?

What if I post a world-changing revelation, then go back and edit it out. Assuming, since it's one of my posts, that no one reads it, was the revelation ever actually posted? Or is its existence contingent on someone viewing it in real-time?

If these so-called "Admins" really exist, perhaps they can shed some divine adminny light on this metaphysical conundrum?

1. It's all hamsters in wheels and monkeys on typewriters.
That's all you need to know.
