3.16.7 (Hogwarts General Curriculum and class subcodes)

Also, before I start, I'll note that three of the classes listed
under 3.16.7 aren't actual Hogwarts classes: astrology, geomancy, and
numerology. And, as you'll see below, the existance of these
categories is unnecessary and only leads to confusion. I've emptied
all three, and I suggest they be scrapped.

Okay, here goes...


3.16.7.2 Astrology
---------------------
<snip coding crimes>


Carolyn:
Ok! I will delete this astrology code and in future we will only use 
the one in symbolism.


3.16.7.6 DADA
----------------------------------

BAD:

- If I have to read another post asking whether Snape really wants
the DADA post, I'll scream. So unless it really presents some
original ideas, send it to Adds Nothing New.

Carolyn:
Bear in mind that Talisman might want the Snape post for, er, other 
purposes..


3.16.7. Geomancy
----------------------------------
Originally: 2 posts

GOOD:

- nothing. Not a class, not even mentioned in canon as far as I
know.

BAD:

- The two posts here discussed geomantic symbolism in the names Albus
and Rubeus. I moved them both to 1.2.13 Symbolism.


Carolyn:
Should these two in fact be in alchemy??? I will delete Geomancy from 
the class list.





3.16.7.13 Numerology
----------------------------------
Originally: 5 posts
Now: 0 posts

GOOD:

- nada, again not an actual Hogwarts class

BAD:

- The posts here are all related to figuring out the exact topic of
study in Arithmancy class, based on Hermione's textbook, "Numerology
& Gramatica". Therefore, I moved these posts to 3.16.7.1 Arithmancy.


Carolyn: I will delete Numerology from the class list, but should it 
be added as a heading within symbolism? I think it is a RL divination-
type subject isn't it??




3.16.7.15 Ancient Runes
----------------------------------
Originally: 7 posts
Now: 5 posts

GOOD:

- What do they study? The symbols themselves? Norse, Celtic, insert
-your-favorite-runic-system? Divination?
- None yet, but when the Harry's-scar-is-a-rune thread starts, I
think this should be cross-coded to Harry's scar and this category.

BAD:

- no problems

Carolyn:
What happens vis-a-vis our Runes category in symbolism??


3.16.7.16 Riding broomsticks
----------------------------------

Side comment... Can this category be renamed to Flying class, or
something similar? It's how most people refer to the class, and a
little clearer in my mind.



Carolyn: will re-name as asked. I did ask for suggestions 
originally...


3.16.7.17 Non-magical classes
----------------------------------

- library etiquette (I feel like I shouldn't have to specify this

one, but, well, they were there...)

Carolyn: 
My fault I think. It was before we added the library sub-code in 
under Hogwart's layout - did you move them to there?


Kelly:
Well, that's it. Unless there's another category you'd like reviewed,
I'll go back to cataloguing.

Carolyn:
Any chance of arm-twisting you to sort out more of the Hogwarts 
section, now you've made this start??
