TBAY that adds nothing new?

How are we dealing with TBAYish posts that don't add any new
information?  For example, posts greeting new members of a ship, which
don't add to Harry Potter canon discussion but do develop the ship
environment.

Personally, I'd prefer to keep it in the database, since these posts
definitely add to a newcomer's understanding of TBAY.  But I wanted to
check with everyone first.

Also, a comment I meant to make a while ago.  Why should we code a
post as 5.4 TBAY only if it doesn't have the proper subject indicator?
 I think it would be infinitely more helpful if _all_ TBAY posts, both
labeled and not, were collected in one category.  Otherwise, it seems
a user would have to browse this category, and then do a keyword
search on subject lines, in order to find all posts of interest.
