I put my own perspective on Rosie's words and did
not do so carefully.  Yes she used the word
delete.  

I took the suggestion to mean, if the book is 
already permanently labeled, to be marked as,
well, I hadn't thought it through yet, but
something other than available or pc or tbr. 
Maybe reserved.

Otoh, if we're using sticky notes, and then
taking them out because a swapper wants a clean
copy, then there is not BCID, and the book will
no longer be journaled, because the recipient
will not be able to find it in bookcrossing (or
even have the note to alert them to the existence
of bookcrossing).

So then it seems to me that, if there is a
provision for deletion in bookcrossing.com, that
the book should be deleted, because it simply is
not a bookcrossing book because it does not have
a bookcrossing label.

Maybe Rosie has further clarification.
