Well, having got you in to "rant mode", I might as well have a little fun with it. But first, in case I forget about this as I enter a "semi rant mode" I will comment on the comment which appears after this, which was added before I could get on to writing this reply. Using my newfound trick, I will even provide a link to it. This comment was indeed very welcome, as I forgot to mention this oversight in one of my "further up the page comments" (to be found here...im really quite getting into this whole "linking idea"). So, thanks to Thomas (I see no need to preserve your anonymity for you) for that one. BUT, it was ended with "My Bad". Now this is the only bit that annoyed me, and for one reason alone, it appeared in this reply in reference to my "get rid of it!" IM. I was thinking of the general tidiness of your journal (and the space required on the LJ database servers). What is the point of me adding an extra post, when I could replace it with an identical post (bar the link). Then, this whole escapade would not exist, and some poor person would not have to sit and read all this rubbish....never the less, I will push on. The other reason I was annoyed about the "My Bad" bit was it is yet another example of netiquette, which yet again people "jump down your throat" for if you do not conform to this hardly-ever-spoken-of-set-of-virtual-rules. I did not know people normally do that, so I was just dealing with the "mistake" in the post to the best of my abilities with the current knowledge I had. Another thing I did not know about was the "deleted comment" note. I have never seen these before, and would therefore not have known about this particular function....another example of a miss-guided rant. Thomas said in this comment that "I'm quite happy not to clutter up my comments list with those". I find this a little contradictory since you would rather I added an extra comment with the change of link, than just change the first comment! talk about yet more wasted space! (and before you try and be clever Thomas, I agree you pointed out that it would still leave a "deleted comment" note. I suspect, (although am writing this without any further investigation) that when you delete the root comment (in this case the post that started this all off) then, you would loose all trace of it. The only reason it remains in this instance is that there a lot of comments coming off it). It was very nice of you to point out the FAQ's section, but at time of posting the comment, I did not have a question! so therefore, at time of posting I felt no need to delve into this section. Questions, I quite often crop-up when I am not sure how to do something. In this case, with my knowledge of HTML, I knew of a way to make a link. Now as it turns out, this was by far not the best way of doing it, but, as I find is quite traditional to the human race, I performed the task using the best method known to me at the time
