Chill out dude, seriously..

 

What post are you talking about (you have multiples in this thread)? Your original one? As far as I know, you can only go back and edit original posts (i.e., the first one in a thread), if they are in the marketplace. Any other posts can only be edited for up to an hour after posting them (I think). After a while, you can't edit your posts, period.

What is the point of this thread exactly? Rate systems' graphical power by units of made-up buzz words that were completely made up just for advertising their systems.
