Lupin progress report (btw: Lupin means wolf)

[quigonginger]

Lupin report:  was 895.  Now 895.

But I have notes.  22 pages, to be exact.  Ok, it's a small notebook, 
but I wrote small.

I'm not going to use exact numbers at this time as I have a lot of 
overlap, and it would total about 2000, but here is where things stand:

I will be rejecting or uncoding roughly 300 posts outright.  Most of 
the rejects are people asking what the J stands for, or breathlessly 
noting that Lupin means wolf.  Most of the uncoding is mention in 
passing or a multipost that requires the reader to go through 
paragraphs of DD and socks, House elves, shipping and whether or not 
Petunia is a aquib just to read that not only does Lupin mean wolf, 
but that it is also a flower.  Or just that it means wolf.

I have divided the remaining 500 or so into several categories for my 
own winnowing ease.  There is a lot of overlap, and a lot of 
repetition.  There are also a lot of posts that would be better suited 
in other places, and I will put them there.  I expect to have roughly 
300 posts when done.

I have many posts that I am planning to move to MMWP, some of which 
will lose the Lupin code at that time.  Ditto Lycanthropy and 
werewolves.  If they don't really talk about Lupin, they are out of 
this category.

I also have a lot of repitition within the categories.  I am going 
through them individually so I can decide which of the 50 or so as-of-
yet-unrejected posts best says that Lupin means wolf, or whatever the 
category.

I am expecting to have final numbers and put in my final report on 
Saturday.  

One thing that is still causing a headache is the Good/ESE area.

If ESE is in the subject line, there is usually no problem, but I have 
noticed that many threads start out ESE, and then someone rebuts, but 
either oversnips or is replying to a rebuttal, and different people 
have coded each post, that some end up under ESE, some under Good, and 
some under just Lupin.  No thread consistancy at all, and it is not 
the fault of the coder.

There are also 50 or so posts about his personality in general which 
could very well go to ESE or Good, but aren't there.  

Any thoughts on this?  I will deal with this section last, so if 
anyone has any ideas or thoughts, let me know.  Preferably by Saturday 
as I am going to visit Aunt Marge after I get done.  (She is coming 
from Ohio to visit my parents, so I am going there and will be gone a 
couple of days.)

Speaking of Aunt Marge (mine, not Harry's) she could explain why DD 
had a BBB in his youth.  She is 80 years old, and took up snorkeling 
at age 79 on a whim.  She refers to her 40's and 50's as "when I was 
young" if she is sharing a memory.  Basicly, any time before she had 
grandkids (about age 60).  For DD, at age 150, his "youth" could have 
been 50 years ago, at age 100, before his hair turned white.  It's all 
how you look at it.  My 9 year old Godson was telling me what he was 
like when he was a kid (age 3) last week.  Perspective, that's what it 
is.

Drat, must run off to work.  Muggy, hot, and infested with slough 
skeeters.  Bleh.
