In this context "ETA" means "Edited To Add". Yes, it's a later thought added in. If you need to edit a post then click on the icon above it that looks like a bit of paper with a pencil. Note, you can only edit your own posts, and then only within two minutes.

Edited in comments often get put in square brackets (or a comment to explain the edit is). This seems to be a convention picked up from the hosts who will do that to clarify what they've done and seperate their comment from the rest of the post.

Thanks. For some reason, I often have a brainfreeze that means I don't pick up mistakes despite copious use of preview post, and often only see them later when re-reading. I was hoping it was possible to go back in and correct them (I'm used to this on another board, which inserts a comment about time edited etc). Guess I'll just live with it [Biased]
