Ron, many Internet Forums don't allow users to edit posts at all after they are submitted.
In the past we had users that would post a "flame" message, starting a flame war, then once it was raging they would delete everything out of their posts so no one could see they started it!
Today, MTU.Community allows editing a post
up to 30 minutes after it is SUBMITTED. Someone posting below does not change the 30 minutes "edit window".
I suggest you use the PREVIEW button, which shows you exactly what your post will look like without submitting it yet. You can edit-preview-edit-preview until you like it, then click SUBMIT REPLY. I do this on every post to insure it 1) looks like I want it to, and 2) it communicates what I "think" I am writing.
General rule of thumb, don't ever post your or anyone else's email or phone in a Forum.
Even when you QUOTE a prior post, you can edit out parts you don't want. I do that to respect others time.
