| 5.2 | Deleted notes | CADSE::WONG | Le Chinois Fou | Fri Apr 07 1989 09:34 | 11 |
| Going through some of the replies here, I've noticed that some
entries have been deleted. Since I made some of the replies
to those entries, I have a general idea of the notes that were
entered. I was just wondering why people are deleting notes,
particularly when some of those notes start off relevant discussions
on naturism (even if they might not exactly be pro-naturism).
If you have deleted some of your own replies, I'd be interested
in knowing why you did so. Send mail if you have to.

| 5.3 | Deleting notes can be impolite to other participants | MOIRA::FAIMAN | light upon the figured leaf | Fri Apr 07 1989 10:32 | 21 |
| Good point.
While VAX Notes is designed to let an author delete his/her notes at any time,
I hope people will keep in mind that deleting a note from the middle (or
beginning) of a discussion does a discourtesy to the other participants in
that discussion, not to mention newcomers to the conference who may be unable
to make any sense of the discussion at some later date.
Sometimes, of course, someone will simply decide that a note that they wrote
was so wrong-headed that leaving it in the conference does a greater disservice
than deleting it. Sometimes (not in this conference, I hope), someone will
become so discontented with a conference that they will delete all of their
notes from it as part of the process of severing their ties with it.
But if you decide for some reason that you would prefer not to leave a note
that you have previously written, please get in touch with me. It may be
possible to replace the original note with an edited version, or with a
place-holder explaining why it was deleted. This could be done either with
your own name on it or anonymously (under a moderator's name).

| Neil and I were discussing this before through mail...
Everyone who replies to this notesfile should remember that this is
a public notesfile and ANYONE can read its contents. If you worried
about what people might say about you because of your participation
in this notesfile, then you might want to have one of the moderators
post an anonymous entry for you. This is not to restrict the
discussions in this notesfile; rather, it is to protect each person's
privacy. This is a public forum on the discussion of nudism/naturism.
It would be a shame if people kept out of the discussions because
they couldn't afford to let others know that they're interested in
the subject.

| 5.5 | Graphic English ? | QCAV02::CSUNDER | | Mon Jun 07 1993 06:51 | 7 |
| I find some graphic characters like "3*<-" & others in some of the
replies especially where the author signs his/her name or in the
title of the reply. I wonder what kind of english is that. Is there
anything like graphic english ? I will be happy to know about it with
the meaning for symbols used. Otherwise it doesn't make any sense to
me.

| 5.6 | | MOIRA::FAIMAN | light upon the figured leaf | Mon Jun 07 1993 10:38 | 5 |
| Most of these are variations of some sort on two basic symbols :-) and :-( .
These make sense if you rotate them 90 degrees clockwise, at which point they
become a "smiley face" and a "frowning face". They are usually used to indicate
"I'm just joking, don't take this seriously" and "it's unfortunate, I'm really
not happy about this", respectively.

| 5.7 | | MLTVAX::PUDER | Karl Puder, DFS Engineering | Mon Jun 07 1993 19:28 | 3 |
| In the case of the characters you mentioned, you probably typo'ed and meant
3*>-
which shows the body of a naked female if you tilt your head to the left.
