PROGRESS
We've now coded 49506 posts, and rejected 27560 of these (55.6%). 
This week, with only Sean coding (I think!), we did 148 posts.

On the review front, we have now done 43 out of 105 sections, just 4 
more than last week. I am not quite clear whether the following have 
actually been done or not:

1.1.1.2 (Wicca) - Sean, did you do this one when you did religious 
banning? (I think not, but not sure).

1.1.3 et al (Freewill, prophecy, seers)- is this done now, Boyd?

1.2.4 Authorial intent/subversive readings - still in progress I 
think, Debbie (?) NB, Laurasia did some of the acronyms now in this 
section when she reviewed Anagrams & acronyms (which has now been 
split across two sections).

2.17. etc (SHIPPING) - is it now finished Ginger?

DATABASES
If you look in the DB section you will see that I have now managed to 
create three new DBs with all of the existing definitions in them. 
This was, to put it mildly, a nightmare, and has taken me most of the 
weekend. The main problem was cleaning up the data sufficiently to 
flow into the Yah DB format as I didn't want to fiddle around re-
entering it all. (Talisman your work was not wasted, it forms part of 
two of the new tables, I just had to create a new table to flow it 
all into..don't ask..).

Anyway, now they are all there. Can I suggest that as we finish 
reviewing a section, that we go in and update the definition for that 
section. When you have done that, indicate the change by 
putting 'EDITED' next to your reviewer name. Eg Carolyn/EDITED.

When they are all updated, it is likely that Paul can flow them all 
into the main dbase, but to do that, I will have to create another 
column in each DB to add in the category ID number (different from 
the section number). 

Finally, as part of all this sorting out, I added in all the zeroes 
(as Kelly suggested on Friday), so forcing all the tables to rank 
properly. However, this makes all the numbers look extremely 
peculiar. Hope you can follow which section is which.

Who needed quite a bit of chocolate to get through the last two days.
