Report on Gred & Forge
*********************

There were 226 posts in this category, and since I was lucky enough 
to review them after Paul fixed the dates this evening, it was a 
reasonably straightforward section to deal with. One really useful 
aspect of running through in date order is that you can clearly see 
when a post could be rejected because the question it asks is 
repeated in full, with an answer, in a subsequent post. That was hard 
to see before. Another obvious advantage is that you follow arguments 
from the beginning of the Yahoo Club days, so you get to be pretty 
certain when a topic has been addressed before.

Specific to this topic, there were two subjects which will cause 
overlap with other sections - the Marauder's Map and the Weasley 
family. On the map, I marked for keeping those posts which discussed 
what the twins could possibly have seen on it, or worked out about 
its functions. However, I cut the discussion when it wandered off 
into more general posts about how the map worked.

On the Weasley family, I marked for keeping those posts which had a 
reasonably substantive discussion about the twins place in it, how 
they interacted with their various brothers etc, but cut the chat 
once it got too far down the Molly parenting role, or Percy angst.

The way I worked was simply to write down a long list of post numbers 
as I read, putting a cross beside those which I definitely thought 
the code should be removed from, and a question mark beside those 
that I thought I might also/or instead add an additional code, or 
change a code. [And tick 'review post' if I did].

In total, I will probably remove nearly 90 posts from this section as 
a result. I didn't think any of the topics addressed justified a sub-
category at this stage.

Hope this sounds ok. In general, I thought it was quite an 
interesting set of posts - hilarious in places, with the endless 
worrying about whether pranks are PC or not. (Oh that conscience, 
Elkins..you bleed for the planet!).

Anne:
To paraphrase Lupin, it seems I chose an inconvenient time to fall
ill. 

<snip>

Before I got sick, I reviewed about the first 25 of Good vs Evil 
<snip>
Anyway, I've chosen Harry as a category to review, 

Carolyn:
Sounds like you've had a bad one, Anne..glad you are getting better. 
I thought you might choose Harry, and I'm hoping you might tackle 
good n'evil too, except it is a very large section because I think it 
has to be done with sins/virtues and morality/immorality. I notice 
people have steered well clear of it! Maybe I can do it with you, and 
you can help improve my immortal soul (well, people are always having 
a go, no reason why you shouldn't..).

Anne:
Somebody also suggested noting in the comments section which category
was added. I think this would be a very good idea, so people would
know whether or not their own review category was affected. I imagine
some posts might receive several of these.

<snip boot-quaking about Talisman...why, do you have a guilty 
conscience?? But she always plays so gently..>

...should I code up my current batch of posts first, or dig into 
Harry right away?


Carolyn: yes, please do use that box for any notes you like. Probably 
best to dig into Harry now - if you go on coding, it might affect 
categories that people are currently looking at.
