Bond Boy, I think your initial instinct is correct. This topic, though interesting, really isn't about miles and points.

I'm going to move this to TravelBuzz, though it could also be appropriate for Online Booking and Bidding (since it's about looking at/editing reservations online) or the Lufthansa board (since you're trying to edit seats on a LH flight).

If you haven't yet gotten what you need, and you don't get the answers you need over at TravelBuzz, you might ask the question of the Lufthansa gurus over in the LH forum.
