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
