Carolyn: this category has been added in section 4 of the list.

Carolyn: I added it as a sub-category under 'Free will' in section 1

Carolyn: Sorting hat has been added as sub-section within Hogwarts 
School/sorting processes

under "Snape/Lily" ships (when the user selects the category) 
LOLLIPOPS is a subcategory. People can either see *all* the 
Snape/Lily ship posts or just the LOLLIPOPS ships or just the pre-
LOLLIPOPS ships.  Or not. :D

Carolyn: yes, this is very much what I envisaged. Posts should only 
be coded to the theory acronym if it is actually about that named 
theory.

Carolyn: I have a reject category called 'mistakes/perpetrating 
mistakes', plus there are the speculation boxes just after the 
listings of the books/chapters at the end of section 1. Enough ??

Carolyn: thanks for this insight.. I have added 'TBAY' as a box under 
Admin at the end. This we can tick when a post is obviously TBAY, but 
hasn't been given that prefix in its post title.
