without written permission.  


1). What is the CO Digest?--- The CO Digest is a privately-
distributed list, similar to a LISTSERV list.  It is open to

Optional or Nude recreation sites, or other related topics.

4).  Is my article edited?--- Yes.  The owner will delete
any extraneous material in the address header, and any
garbled transmission.  When postings include previous
postings, the previous posting will be edited to save
space.  In addition, the CO Digest editor reserves the
right to make any editorial changes to the post deemed
appropriate.

4a).  All contributions are the property of the CO Digest.
The CO Digest is copyrighted material, and assumes that all
contributions to the list are First Publications, unless
otherwise noted.  Exceptions to this rule are News Releases
and NAC Alerts, which are broadcast to multiple distribution
sites.  In addition, all releases from AANR and its regions,
FCN, FQN, TNS, NAC, NEC or other recognized 
nudist/naturist organizations will be treated as news releases
from these groups, and will not be edited, other than to strip
the mail headers.
The CO Digest will also not knowingly publish non-news items
which have been previously published on other internet sites
or traditional publications without the expressed consent of
that publication and the original author.  Contributors to the
digest must agree with the terms of this paragraph in order
to contribute.  
Unsolicited manuscripts are accepted by the CO Digest, and the
author's acceptance of this sub-paragraph is assumed.
For additional information, see paragraph 7.

5).  What are the rules of the CO Digest?--- Fairly simple.
This is a list for discussion of sites, lifestyles, news and
other pertinent information concerning Clothing Optional
living.  This is NOT a sexual list, and any references to
such will not be redistributed.  However, sexual questions
that are relevant to the issues at hand will be transmitted.

6).  How did this list get started?--- The list owner, me,
wanted to be able to talk with other people who have
Internet or Bitnet links about nude recreation.  I first
started a LISTSERV List, (CLTHOPT), however it was shut down
due to a technicality.  This private list was born out of
that.  This list represents people from not only the United
States, where it originates, but all over the world.  This
list is meant to be a companion to the Naturist Discussion
Forum on Delphi, and rec.nude on USENET.  The CO Digest has
been regularly published since 1992.

7).  May I redistribute information from this list to
other publications, or internet sites?--- 
     Only with the permission of the CO Digest owner, and 
the original author of the article.  This permission 
may be obtained via e-mail.  Credit must be given to 
the CO Digest and the original author.

8).  Who gets this list?
          Currently, this list is distributed to subscribers
who have internet access through AOL, Yahoo, etc.  In other
words, any person that can receive e-mail
from an internet source can receive the CO Digest.

9).  What if I have additional ideas for this FAQ?--- Drop
me a line at the address above.  (By the way, for those who
may not know, FAQ stands for Frequently Asked Questions).

10).  Are back issues available?--- Currently back issues are
available from the CO Digest web site.  The URL is:
