This is because we prefer to retain development threads for new articles with fresh drafts of an article posted as it is updated rather than just repeatedly updating the initial article draft with new changes. That way we retain a historical record of an article's development.
A side effect however, is that you can't go back into an older post and change it after the window closes. Although, in a pinch, I'm pretty sure an Editor or Admin can. But we will generally advise to just post a new entry to a thread rather than retconning it unless there is a very compelling reason to do otherwise.
Hope this helps,

As an Editor I have the permanent ability to edit my own posts no matter how old (and I actually didn't realize/remember until now that others cannot). But I cannot edit anyone else's posts. Perhaps Admins can.
