HCOB 9 October 1970 What Is a Read is hereby cancelled as conflicting with existing LRH – HCOBs defining a read.

A read is a SF, F, LF or LFBD. A "Stop" is not a read.

A "Tick" is always noted and in some cases becomes a wide read.

Things that don't read won't run.

When you go around running unreading items you get low and high TA trouble.
