The latter one (different course) needs spearate treatment from the former (typofix). Small corrections without changing course is better communicated with "will fix when I reroll" while a drastic change should warn the readers not to waste their time on the premature initial version, i.e. "I came up with a drastically different and better idea; please ignore the one I just posted and wait for an updated one".

I'll sleep on what I rewrote to see if I or other people find better phrasing.

Thanks.
