The site si a table, but so is each message in the discussion group. 
The jettison verb can be applied to that also, so try jettisonign the 
1 message #discussionGroup.messages.0000095

table.jettison(@myManilaWebsite.["#discussionGroup"].messages.["0000095"])

then do a save copy . If you get past that then you  will need to 
cerate a message 95, but I cna helpwith that if the main step works.
