Interesting. The Main Categories are getting fewer. Probably for the best.
Most searchers would be happier with fairly broad choices to start with,
branching out into more specific fields, I think.

Me too. I vote you tell her she has to resubmit all her messages as separate
subject posts. Though she's just an outstanding example of combining
comments from varying posts in an omnibus reply. Others do it too, only
less frequently.

SHIPs is Ships is ships. An abomination upon the face of the Earth by any
name. Pseudo-romantic slush, probably engendered by over-dosing on
TV soaps. Caused by incipient brain rot in the SHIP fanatics and high blood
pressure in those (like me) who are subjected to them.

it's a thread I feel strongly about.
