No, you fundamentally cannot edit posts. This is a Usenet newsgroup
and a mailing list; once your post is sent, it gets carried by lots of
different servers separately. Just send a followup, same as you did
there.

Since you seem to be using Google Groups, please read this to learn
how to avoid antagonizing a significant proportion of the list's best
responders:
