:Thanks for the comment and bringing this to my attention. This is my first time I have voted using that format. I didn't notice the comments at top and bottom  instead, I went directly to my comment. If you look look at the change I made, I added two words (my original vote with a strikethrough) that I had mistakenly deleted, instead of using the common method of altering one's vote by doing a strikethrough. So, I re-added the deleted words of my previous vote with a strikethrough.  

On reflection, I think there are meaningful exceptions to rules. The change does not alter my comment or revised "vote."  It preserves information about the change in status of my vote. In fact, it clarifies the vote change. So, in this case, as the intention of the request of do not edit is to keep a clear record of the vote, I think my very minor edit actually serves that. So, I'll leave it as is. Thanks,
