Will someone please tell me how Dr. Phlox was able to edit Harry's message? To my knowledge, he's not an admin.

If you're asking whether those races should be more advanced over all than Terrans, the answer is that the Vulcans and Klingons are, while the Suliban are not (save a few who have been given special techology by FutureGuy).
