What are your thoughts ?

If a delete a note that is attached to a highlight, the highlight remains in the resource, now with no note attached.
An orphan Highlight, like we have currently? I would like to have an option "don't use my Highlights for collaboration/sharing" ==> http://community.logos.com/forums/p/33734/253171.aspx#253171

I agree and saying select the option 'dont' use internet' does not cut it as a solution. One size does not fit all.
I would be surprised if this wasn't an option. I would also expect that deleting a highlighting note or the highlight itself would always remove both.

Logos has consistently told us that we would be able to create work groups, keep things private or make them public (how public I don't recall them saying - I assumed "all Logos users" was the outer limit of public.)
If I erase a highlight within the resource, the attached note is also deleted What are your thoughts ?
This is a killer for me, they need to add logic to say if there is content DO NOT delete note, if not I have no problem with auto deleting it if its empty, but object to it thinking my notes are no longer required.
One can look at this two ways - either of which could be argued as the more "proper" user view:
1 Notes and Highlights differ only in that Notes have Logos defined markers in the text while Highlights may have Logos or user defined markers. Following this thought leads one to have both or neither marking/note.
2.Note marking and Highlight marking differ only in the Note requiring associated text and Highlighting only permitting associated text. Following this thought leads to the ability to delete a highlight note without deleting the highlighting.
I prefer the first method because I would like to see the highlighting note automatically built with the palette and style name. This would result in notes being the generic item and highlights being a specific item i.e. using Logos defaults I would expect to have my notes in a very specific classification. Whereas if I used a personal palette I would expect it to be tightly classified e.g. Berlin's parallelism type or the gender, number and case of Greek nouns.
I think this would be the easiest pattern of system behavior. We wouldn't get the appearance, after the fact, of unpredictable behavior - the "why, I didn't delete it" syndrome, the Logos 4 did this to me syndrome. I wouldn't object to a hidden note - then when I heard the I didn't do it routine, I could point them to the hidden feature (sound familiar? something like the I didn't hide the book?) Preferable to hiding to me would be to optionally sort all blank notes to the end.
anything with custom/user inputted text should never autodelete, thats my 2c and we may just have to agree to disagree
I think it is bad practice and will lead to more issues in future, better "why didnt it delete.?" questions than "where has it gone.?"
It is my experience that orphans create more problems than auto-deletes. Unfortunately, I no longer have the luxury of a lab to watch user behavior. Well, to be honest, I only had that luxury once - implementing the first administrative web app.
Not sure I've thought through it, but intuitively this seems spot on.
