“L-RD” is used as a form of circumlocution in referring to HaShem. It is customary not to write the full word when using a medium that is easily destroyed or marred, so as not to disgrace even a reference to HaShem’s name.
Treating G-d’s name with reverence is a way to give respect to Him. So even though the name is not really being erased (and perhaps is not really there in the first place) on a computer , and “L-RD” is only an English term used to translate G-d’s holy name, it is in keeping with this respect that I write “L-RD” in my emails and posts on-line.
