What does that black dot thingy on the left handed flag mean. Kind of gives me a Scarlet letter sort of vibe 
It means that you have posted to that thread. (I think).
David
yes, you do and it’s setting a bad example.
oh, yeah…that is what the black dot means. 
Thank you BigDavy. 
well, if you are a guest then you are not you 
I thought the OP was talking about musical notation. I was leaving it to someone else to explain that whether the flag on the note is pointed to the left or right makes no difference and that the dot increases the value of the note by half.
Shiver me timbers! Not the black spot!
Aarrgghh! Now I’ve got it too! It’s more contageous than swine flu!
flee from the cities! Black pox, Black pox!
Glad to see you’ve all gone dotty in your old age…it’s not just me!!! 
I think some of us started well before old age
