Hi Thomas
Reminder to always "inline post".   Don't reply on top.  Your reply 
should always be BENEATH what you are replying to.

This is an issue that we have observed occasionally with dynamically 
created content from a CMS such as Joomla or Wordpress or the like. 
Then a user wants to make changes via FTP and that winds up requiring a 
support ticket so that our techs can run a quick chown -R for them.
