    My basic point still stands. Stop posting if you can't put your thoughts out in a coherent manner regularly. There's no reason to be constantly posting from you phone. Whatever you have to say can wait. The OF will not disappear without your contribution.
    Adding points to my response doesn't alter what I'm saying. It's just adding on to what my overall point was about.

    Except it does, but you'll never understand that so I'm wasting my time on this point. You will notice, however, that I'm not the only person to point this out to you and express irritation over it.

    And none of this (again) addresses my basic point. Whatever you have to say can wait. Your contribution isn't so important that it absolutely must be made before you can get to a place where you have the time and hardware to post a single, coherent reply, without having to edit yourself in nearly every post you make.

    Well I'm sorry you take it that way but that's never my intention to begin with and assuming I do rub off as you say, I'm sure you have seen me post enough times to know how I post my responses. Not like I've been on the forums 1 day.

    Just because you always do something one way doesn't make it right. There's a word for someone who does something wrong over and over again while ignoring the people telling them they are doing something wrong (well several words depending on context).

    Again ignoring my basic point, but again that's par for the course.

    Uh your logic does not make sense. People edit all the time. Maybe not the way you want everyone to. But I'd rather post a quick reply to let the person know I'm paying attention to them than make them wait 20-40 minutes to respond back especially when conversing with several people at the moment.

    I'm merely trying to avoid this.

    Also, there are cases it might feel this way when you don't receive an answer to certain things you were expecting and the subject continues to shift.

    How does praising devs counter that "you might feel like we're not responding to you"?

    Just to end this discussion on editing posts: The ability to edit your post is so you can make editorial changes and/or correct ambiguities. Adding major revisions 5 or 10 minutes later with major additions is discourteous.

    I dont make revisions. I add things on to my post that I didn't finish what I said. Because I respond to a person at the very moment. First post does not allow "Preview option" until I post something first. Then I have to build on top of it.

    I've even had to cut what I was writing under edit mode after seeing someone post a reply only for me to respond faster creating a new response under the person who replied.

    Meaning if you posted before I finished I'd cut and paste under to keep editing what the 1st reply was splitting the original reply into 2 separate comments.

    When speaking with more than 2 other people at the same time it was done to quickly reply to everyone before the subject shifted.

    Yes there were times I spent 30 minutes only for the subject to evolve into something else therefore It was more convenient for me to respond the way I do now.
