On TBAY - yes, code for it, even if only a section of the post is in 
this style, some people hate it so much. However, if only passing 
references are in this style, I dunno, I'd probably let them go if 
they really are one-liners..

On Multiple posts - yes, tick this even if only one of the bits is 
relevant to the catalogue and the rest is reject

When we hear back about the legal aspects of the catalogue it will be 
clearer what we can do about multiple posts in terms of technical 
display. One idea I had for multiple posts was background 
highlighting the relevant bit to a thread you were reading.
