Hi unkmar,

You're right unkmar,  sometimes people delete messages and
that throws off the whole flow of the thread.  That means 
allowing a change would have to have a time limit, or as you
said, dont allow this.
I'd still like to see the review page however.

Im sorry to hear your update didnt make it to the
Eu archive, but i bet something went wrong and maybe
you should contact Rob, or simply try resending it again?

Hope you have better luck in the future with
your updates.

Al
