I was speaking in more general terms, not just NSA showings (to which
I have not attended).

If one is showing slides at a third-grade class at the local school
or if one is showing slides at the backroom of the local nudie bar with
your pal Al Bundy, the slide selection probably should be different
because the audience is composed differently. This is what I meant.

If the audience and the presenters both have the same idea of what will
or might be shown, everything should be fine.  If NSA go'ers expect
nudity, then I can't see where nude slides whould be a problem so long
as they continue to be in the same "class" of nude slides.

P.S.- In the book "Three Dimentional Photography" by McKay, which I'm
      currently reading (almost finished, I'm sick at home for the
      last several days) I find it interesting that McKay goes through 
      a great deal of verbage defending stereo nude photography.  In 1953.
