@amWhy the question i linked to had nothing to do with the edits.

it isnt even relevant to the question

@TheGreatDuck Okay, I thought that was your edited question, and thought it an entirely different question, which, I guess it is. Sorry about any misunderstanding.

@amWhy the question I linked to is the one i edited to want reopened. The question linked to in the edited post is irrelevant to the question itself.

I only put it there for further reading if someone feels so entailed.

That's what I thought. My suggestion to you is to simply post the edited post, which is much different (or clearer, and better) than the original, as a new post altogether, with link and all. You've improved the original considerably, and in a sense, the question has evolved enough to post anew. (link and all). :)

but the link isnt relevant?

There is no one who could successfully that your edited post is a repost of the original. Go for it!

ugh

you changed a question to a statement.

roll back, of course. I think I kept the question mark, but ... I get it...roll back and try to make it clearer that you are asking your question.

yeah unless you feel it shuldnt be a question?

@amWhy thanks. feel free to edit as you please. im heading off now

@TheGreatDuck take a look now: I used a comma to separate "Just as........ , can ...... ?
