It seems we have consensus.

Oh, yes, I used another word because we had a Themes subcategory in literary 
analisys, the name is not important if it transmits the correct semantic.

I like :: 2. Characters: Beasts, Beings and Spirits because I inmediately 
perceive the kind of posts I will find in it. (sort of the The Magical 
ZooSpiritSphere )

Ok.

Barry:
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.

Sincerely, as we can assign 6 categories to each one of her posts,  if she 
manages to earn the INCLUDE in more than six fragments of the post, I also 
vote to tell her to repost. I don't want to adapt a sistem only to include a 
poster, only 3 or 4 replies combined is in a post is not a problem, omnibuses 
are.

I will adapt the database later so there are no conflicts with post numbers 
from previous groups, I don't want to start patching an structure that now is 
clean and flexible, unless there is a good reason.
