what does X mean and what do the dashes mean? one means your being ignored and the other doesn't, but dunno which one is which.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the X means you are being ignored, and the dashes means you aren't for that particular category.

that goes along with the other thing i was talkin 'bout on the quicknotes topic i posted a while ago. someone should explain what brief listing vs full listings for the zone by phone and TeamTalk users thing also. i m maen no listing is self-explainitory. hides some helpful text? what's that mean. like in expert mode. i know i have that on and what it hides, but what 'bout those new users. is it time to update the knolige base?

X means you are being ignored

Generally an x would denote 'checked' sort of like a check box or when people would put an x (on paper) by the option they wanted, etc. I guess this must be a product of being raised in a generation where the tests and things in school are all done on computer?
Even though I could not x things on printed paper for myself when I was in school, we knew what that was. Maybe sort of antiquated, like people saying "half past" or "a quarter till" from the era of clockfaces with hands. But now you know, in case you see this in a table in Word or something that someone sends you at work. That's where that comes from: the x meaning a check mark or that's the one.
