Carolyn:
I'll add it as a sub-category within the Hogwart's sorting section.

Hopefully the list will shorten a good deal when we remove the theory 
acronyms that attract very few posts.

Also, we should start to discuss with Paul how the threads will 
eventually get displayed. At the moment we can do a quick look-see by 
clicking the 's' after each category, but that generates a flat list 
of names and numbers, not a live list of the actual posts.

Once we are able to see the posts as a live list, firstly we will no 
doubt spot some categorising mistakes/conflicts and need to correct 
this. Second we might delete even more, having reviewed how often a 
point has been made. Third, probably there needs to be a visual 
grouping mechanism, so that you can see distinct threads as one 
entity.

One way of showing threads would be to have  +/- type display, where 
you can open/close groups of threads as you browse a list. What might 
be a good way of naming such threads - date ? Post nos ? Subject ?
