... that's me not quite getting it... And what about observations 2 through 82? ;-) Guess it doesn't help that I was mixing technical/system questions with rules/feasibility questions!

Ok, with you so far, that as indicated above by Dr. Bob, indeed the old name doesn't ever return to availability...

Losing the trail here.... Does that mean that one can modify a name without doing a new registration? I didn't think that was possible, I thought people were always told they had to re-register to make any change at all...-------

Yeah, and I had to pick this! Perchance I made little sense in how I phrased my questions in my other post, but I hope somehow Dr. Bob follows them and addresses each one. Because I'm in that place where one feels maddeningly sure something, somehow, doesn't make sense; but it's hard to put one's finger on it or on all of it... Which is often followed by someone pointing out something stupefyingly obvious to one, resulting in one being like.... WHOOOOOPSIE!! <feverish blush>And thanks for the back-welcome, but I think I should limit myself to this one thread forever! So it better be a fulfilling one, that is somehow permitted to meander into any area of my life and opinions that I want it to! ;^)
P.S., awwww, she remembered, the "no k!" Yes, this confounded, misleading, and cache-less name. If I do stick around beyond this week or so it IS changing this time! (Interpretation for those who don't know me: I am NOT a Trekie, nor a male! Sorry to anyone I just let down. ;)
