I started to review the Death Eater category code 2.10 (only) and 
after looking over the first 40 posts realized there was going to be 
a conflict. The majority of the posts dealt with the dark mark 
insignia, which 99% of the time will involve the death eaters as a 
collective group. Now that's ok but being suspicious of the situation 
I looked at 3.9.4 the Dark Mark category and it has many of the same 
posts or ones that are very similar in nature. It's almost like there 
are two different categories representing the same ideas. My 
suggestion would be to combine the Death Eater/Dark Mark into one 
category. The Dark Mark category however, is also used for the 
Morsmordre spell creating the symbolic dark mark, which I would 
suggest, moving to symbolism. Input please!

One of the other idea's that was talked about under the Death Eater 
category was name origin.  Here is an example:

"Has anyone noticed that the Astronomy professor, Prof. Sinistra, has
not played a role in any of the books so far? I had been thinking 
about
this, and wondering whether she might come up more in future books, 
and
if so, what does her name say about her? I know in Latin 'sinister'
means "left," but its obvious cognate in English is 'sinister.' So...
she's either a DeathEater, or she just has very liberal ideas (hee 
hee)
Any thoughts on this?"

Is it necessary to code to the subject matter when talking about the 
origin of a name?  Posts discussing name origins often go off on a 
tangent or in this example make a brief reference to the subject 
matter.  

Also I hate to bring this up again but the post numbers are out of 
whack. The first post is 16000 and the next one is 15993 and three 
posts later its 6558.
