Whew! Finally finished.

Start: 1856
After review: 1393

It looks like I took a machete to the category, doesn't it?  Most 
were uncoded to a chapter for a variety of reasons and the rest were 
rejected for FAQ reasons.

I've also updated the Chapter Coding Guide to include GOF. Sorry I 
couldn't think of a better format than just to list each chapter 
individually so it *is* 12 pages long. But it will likely be worth 
the paper to print this and avoid the cumbersome task of paging 
through each book. Here's the link:

Last few thoughts on chapter coding:

**Chapter summaries and responses don't need to be coded to anything 
else but the chapter, unless a post takes one of the questions and 
goes off on a tangent. I don't see these as being the same as a 
Multiple post, where each answer needs to be coded individually. 

**I only kept posts coded to a chapter IF they are actually 
dissecting and event within that chapter. If a canon point from a 
chapter is cited as part of a larger argument, i.e. Fudge is Evil 
based on his behavior throughout GOF, one example being the scene 
in "The Parting of the Ways", then I uncoded to the chapters. 
Sometimes longer posts *do* analyze particular events in canon as 
part of the argument, and those I kept coded to the chapter. But if 
the canon point is just be cited with a passing reference to how it 
fits into the theory, I'd say don't code to the chapter.
