First, welcome Sean! Your tagline makes me crack up every time I
read it. You're in the right group of lunatics ;).
And Anne, it seems like you've been sick for a long time now; I
sincerely hope the antibiotics and anemia treatment get you going
again. After all, you're one of the original coders in this here
joint, and we need your input. (P.S. I'm going to The Witching Hour
too and can't wait to meet you in person!).
Now, back to business:

Jen: Yes. Guilty of overcoding if a name is even mentioned in a
post, but will stop that. Promise. You start clicking down the list
and get in a rhythm and hoo-boy before you know it 15 categories are
tagged. Seems like the best rule of thumb now when considering the
end user is to look at the big picture and main topic when coding.
Some posts are hard because they discuss multiple subjects, but it's
not going to be perfect after all. *L.O.O.N's stiffen at the
possibility of a heretic in the group.* Well, it's *true*. We'll
always be able to go back and correct if needed. It's all good :).
As for Puffskeins, might as well add a category. If we end up with
too few posts at the end, we can integrate them back into another
category.
Slacker!Jen who promises to start her review of the chapters
posthaste and will report back when she's done. Thankfully they are
either right, wrong, or rejected. NO ambiguity, NO gray area, NO
discussion *sigh of relief*.
