I assumed that "no change" was trying to ensure credit was not lost. However, if the original email address was gone, or some kind of nickname is used, I would have assumed that is modifiable. Nothing is magic about this line; it's not even mandatory. So if you are clarifying it is immutatable, then I'd like the reason documented because it now escapes me. I was given the benefit of the doubt over the literal meaning. The literal I don't think is good. So now please explain why it can't be changed if credit is maintained? John
