And? My message was meant to convey a few things: "I don't think you should have done this", "this is not in the spirit of the process the previous that was previously laid out", and "any reviewers should take the procedural issue into account while reviewing". None of that is inconsistent with the office of Herald being vacant. > So what if I thematically place this thesis in the stead of > another?

By this exact same logic, why not submit it de novo? That wouldn't demonstrate contempt for the idea of peer review and revision based on the received feedback. -- Janet Cobb Assessor, Rulekeepor, Stonemason
