: I submitted a followup to this, which was buried below underneath
: a totally different followup to a totally different entry, which
: appears as my post until you open it up to read it.

: And please stop with the editing of comments and taking soundbites
: out of what I write and using that as the subject heading when
: the subject heading I put in originally was just fine.

: Thanks!

: McSpotlight replies:

: Sorry about the mix up with your followup. As you can tell, our system is not all it could be and its very hard to move messages once they've been added to the Room.

: As for changing your subject header, we tend to only do that if its been left as "re: the other message". By taking a soundbite out of the followup people can get a more of an idea of what it's about - specially if there's lots of people replying to the same letter.

: But if we changed your subject header that _wasn't_ just "re: the other one", then we must thought it was inappropriate for some reason, or we were just being stupid. Sorry.

: Jessy
: McSpotlight

: ps. I resisted the temptation to take out some of the exclamation marks from the header of this message, as a goodwill gesture. ;-)


McSpotlight, you need to slap your software provider upside the head, and
box his ears! Just about everyone's posting got repeated at least once at
the top of this board. I think everyone would like to drop-kick a computer
at one time or another.

As for the editing part, everything's cool! You guys do a good job of making
the needed improvements without altering or changing the content of the
messages.
