I'm still up having finished some fictionalley tasks that can only be
done in the middle of the night. But it gave me a chance to read the
documents.
Just a few quick points:
1) In case it matters, the catalogue will contain all messages and
each message can be retrieved without any alterations (without
exceptions). That is the starting point. An admin can always get to
any original post. But within the database, we'll have the potential
to modify a copy of the post and disable it from consideration and
perhaps split it into multiple posts. I'm only bringing this up
because I think there can be other uses that the HPFGU Mod team can
get out of it.
2) When suggesting a possible user presentation of the categories,
list the number of immediate sub categories in parens--like Snape (10)
to indicate Snape has 10 children (as if :) ).
3) I can't have a hugh influx of people connecting to my computer. My
hope is to stay under the radar of my ISP.
4) Change "Paul may need help" to "Paul would like to have help"
5) Requestions donations would be good rather than requiring payment
The Mod folks like to complain about Yahoo's sucky search capability.
We have the data. And we can utilitize it in ways that are not too
difficult.

I have read this, and agree wholeheartedly. I'm not much on technical
or legal issues, but I definitely think it's best that users can bring
up actual posts, and that the whole thing be accessible only through
HPfGU and through the home page.
Re your proposed category changes in your next post, they look good to
me, too.
Agreeable today, aren't I?
