Good morning. I think. Cautiously. Touching wood, etc., etc., etc..

My catalogues seem to have become uncorrupted overnight!
So I can get back to work (or at least I could if I wasn't still trying to 
deal with insurance claims and replacing all my stolen tack).

Please may I request that Evil (as in Ever-So) becomes ESE?
I have a post specifically dealing with JKR's attitudes to Evil and I can't 
think what other keyword to give it!
I didn't understand what Cindy's final ruling was on this.

And may we have a ruling on Prank vs. The Prank, please?

SHIPPING

Sorry I've been making a mess of this, but I don't do Shipping, so I didn't 
really understand the normal rules anyway.
I'm just wondering what the advantage of, say putting SHIP; LOLLIPOPS; 
Lily/Snape is over putting, SHIP; LOLLIPOPS; Lily; Snape? Particularly where 
the SHIP is only a part of the post and the characters are discussed in 
different contexts. I end up with something that looks like, SHIP; LOLLIPOPS; 
Lily/Snape; Lily; Snape, which seems to be needlessly repetitive.

If someone does a search for SHIP, then they will be able to see which 
characters are potentially involved. Or, am I right in thinking you could 
search for, say, SHIP *and* Harry, so that all permutations would appear, 
rather than having to ask for specific SHIPs from memory? Similarly, someone 
just searching for Lily will get the information that certain of those posts 
contain SHIPPING theories, no?


Should I be word-wrapping my comments? ('Cause I'm not!)

Another really dumb question. It doesn't really matter, but I'd like to know!
*Why* do we have to black out the posts we're not cataloguing, rather than 
just deleting that row of the chart altogether? (Fom this afternoon's posts 
it seems that some are and some aren't). I'm confused. As always.
