Need a Second Opinion

Hi, all,
I've run across a certain type of post a few times, and I'm
wondering how others are handling it. The posts in question are
often (but not always) brief statements of opinion, sometimes in
response to Chapter Summary questions. Here's an example from a
post that answers each of 10 Chapter Summary Questions:

I have to admit that my mind shuts down sometimes when we're
traveling from one room to another in Hogwarts. I've long ago given
up trying to remember where everything is in relation to everything
else. Good thing I'm not a student there - I'd probably be able to
find Hagrid's hut, the greenhouses, the Forbidden Forest and the
lake. Other than that, I'd be the Neville Longbottom of classroom
location.

The post answers all 10 Chapter Summary questions in that fashion.
I'm torn -- if this post were a stand-alone post, I would consider
it too insubstantial to include in the catalogue. But then again,
the post as a whole is substantial in a sense because it addresses
10 different subjects in an articulate (if superficial) way.
Are the rest of you including that sort of thing in your
catalogues?
I'm having some trouble drawing the line.
Cindy
