Um, I do disagree (with examples).

TBAY is far more than a commentary, it is advancing theories in 
another style mostly. It is really important that these posts get 
filed with the relevant theories, not left in a style category where 
no one will find them.

I took a look at the end of the current TBAY collection, at those you 
had coded like this:

44792, 44800 These are about GARBAGESCOW and Percy
43161, 43166, 432221 These are about FIRST MEMORY FRIEND
43232 This is about Fred & George and PRATTLESNAKE
44258 This is actually about Crouch Sr and Big Bangs & ambushes

Apologies, but we need to agree the right approach here.
