Like Mark Smith and Azalais Aranxta,
You can call me Kiri. I just don't use my whole legal name or any of the email addresses associated therewith on lists that are open to the public because I unfortunately have stalkers. (Not that it's much protection, but at least they don't email me at work.) > This does put onto authors the responsibility of using tags > consistently, Well, speaking as me, the only reason I don't do that on LJ is that they were introduced after I already had thousands of posts, which I will someday tag consistently in my Copious Free Time, but it took me a whole afternoon just to do that for one community I mod which is younger than my actual journal. I think if this is made clear and easy to do from jump, most people will do it. > Posts that _should_ remain friends-locked can be handled by > putting them under general friends-lock and tagging them so > that the people permitted to see them can choose whether to > filter them out or not; and any filters that are for the > privacy and/or convenience of the poster rather than opt-in > filters for the convenience of their readers, would still be > handled as custom trust-filters as they are now.

This sounds like what I meant when I made my post. ~kiri **************************************************************** Azalais Aranxta (~malfoy) ataniell93 on LiveJournal and Vox http://groups.yahoo.com/group/malfoymadness "I know the true world, and you know I do.
