I want the last argument to use a symbol.  Would you be so kind to scrutinise 
my implementation please.

(defun mesgb (mesg &optional bufr actm)
  "Display message except on 'nogo symbol."

  (let ((bfr (or bufr "*Gundit*"))
	(acm (or actm 'go)))

    (when (not (eq 'nogo acm))
      (with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create bfr)
	(org-mode)
        (insert mesg))) ))
