As for changes in your post, Richard, that's one for Sherlock Holmes! Hosts have no power to edit others' posts. They DO have powers to delete others' posts, however, something I would never do unless the poster broke the rules of discussion by, say, attacking another poster or plagiarizing another's words (etc.).
Does that settle THAT or just add to the fire? Om... not sure.
(Oh. And Richard, I'm happy to use you as my local Buddhist expert when the occasion rises! Thanks for the offer.)

"My daddy was a handsome devilHad a chain was nine miles long
On every link, a heard did dangle
Of another maid he'd loved and wronged.
"Go court another tender maiden
And hope that she will be your wife
For I've been warned and I've decided
To sleep alone all of my life."
