Shouldn't I be able to edit this for a little while? Strange, only two minutes later and I can't edit. It had no replies.

I tried adding this quote from the linked paper:

> Thus, IgG elimination occurs mostly through intracellular catabolism by lysosomal degradation to amino acids after uptake by either pinocytosis, an unspecific fluid phase endocytosis, or by a receptor-mediated endocytosis process.

Explanation of two words in there that maybe not everybody knows:

pinocytosis: The ingestion of liquid into a cell by the budding of small vesicles from the cell membrane.

endocytosis: The taking in of matter by a living cell by invagination of its membrane to form a vacuole.

EDIT: I can still edit this comment more than five minutes later, as expected. Hmm... why could I not do that with my first comment...?

If this was your literal first comment, it could be some form of SPAM or trolling protection
It was the 2nd comment, and since it's not been very long since the first one I remember that I edited it quite extensively, many times, for well over five minutes. This time I could start editing but could not (successfully) submit the edited text just two minutes after posting the comment, according to the time printed just above my comment after I submitted the edit (which only showed the text before the edit, and the "Edit" link was now gone).
Then I don't know. You normally have around one hour to edit, IIRC.
