Dear Mike,

I guess that Patrick only noted that IX Dra should be classified as
UGSU, not only UG as written in CV-circular.  Sorry for the confusion
I arose.

Generally speaking, I guess the data deletion should be done with the
suggestion of the observer's own.  On this case, I has misunderstood
that the deletion request has come from the observer so I have made a
forwarding post in order to note the deletion.  After hearing Mike, my
opinion is that the observations of WY Tri by SXN should not be
deleted.
