266.0. "Need Code Deciphering :-)" by WILLEE::FRETTS (Noting with my Higher Self) Tue Nov 01 1988 13:08

    
    
    
    Could someone please tell me what all these references to
    FWO: or FGD:, etc. on note titles mean?  Thanks much.

266.2FWO and FGDMEWVAX::AUGUSTINEPurple power!Tue Nov 01 1988 13:1316
    FWO = "For Women Only". 
    FGD = "For General Discussion"
    
    Note 1 contains more information about these designations, but
    basically, some women have decided that occasionally they'd like
    to have FWO discussions. Each such note must be followed immediately
    by an FGD note. FWO notes are actually a courteous request rather
    than an enforceable designation.
    
    In general (and this is for all new noters), it's a good idea to
    read all of Note 1 when you first open a new conference. It will
    usually contain a set of guidelines and expectations that will help
    you navigate through the conference and understand some of its
    conventions.

    Thanks Liz....
    
    What happened to .1?
    
    I read through all the notes in 1 and the only one that touched
    on these "codes" was .8, but it didn't explain what they were.

    Carole,
    I suspect that the author of .1 decided to delete her entry. 
    and
    aha! thanks for pointing out the gap in 1.8. We'll try to add a
    quick note to explain the acronyms.
