New & horrid task - our first review

I have just tried to use our database to answer a query on TOC, and I 
have to say, running quickly through what had been filed under 
various headings, erm, you could say it is a little variable. 
Sometimes it was hard to know why a post had ended up there!

So, as a small exercise, I'd like each of us to take a category at 
random, and just quickly eyeball the full text version, to see what 
you get (just click 'p' next to the name of the category).

I've allocated people in the following list without checking how many 
hits there are. If it turns out to be a very big section and gets 
rather wearisome, just do as much as you can.

I'd like us to share our impressions. What you have to do is think 
only about the category that you've clicked, and decide whether the 
posts you are seeing are relevant to that heading. Remember, in 
effect you are being a test user of the database - what would you 
expect to find there..

Sorry about tasking you with this, but I think it will be useful.
