You would be surprised. People don't normally reply. Actually, it's a rarity.

Doing a sequel to every post is doable, but consider taking a different approach. Instead of deleting your posts, I recommend a compilation article that links to your old posts. You can then discuss your old posts in the compilation with greater detail without drawing undesired DV's. Check out another user named chronocrypto. He faced a similar situation to what you're describing.

And hey, I'm sorry man. I know that does little good.

Again, you would be surprised. You'll need to square things away with HW and/or HDR. I'll probably follow their lead.
