That's great if someone wants to do it, in the default wordpress security
hierarchy there are both authors and editors. Editors can change any
submission. You can also set the system so certain levels can comment, and
with a closed group like the FOT that eliminates most comment spam since only
members can comment.

Here's a sample of a wordpress site I built called xtreme Geezer. That would
certainly be you Bill. I haven't doner much with it since building it, but
it's more or less what I'd recommend for the FOT.
