No need to alter the history of your topic. Trying to rewrite history just makes a mess 😛 Your initial query was solved. The natural next step would be to start a new topic or find an existing one, like this one:

> [@User who sends the automatic Welcome Message has overflowing PM box](https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-who-sends-the-automatic-welcome-message-has-overflowing-pm-box/28315/7):
>
> I think we should probably change it so Welcome goes from system. If anyone replies to welcome all moderators are automatically added to the conversation. Its a huge edge case, but when it hits you (like it does hit @codinghorror here) it makes your Messages kind of useless.
