Carolyn:
Pretty much the only approach I can think of, as well. The only 
refinement is that I will probably start to implement the decisions 
as soon as the categories stabilise, and not wait until I have read 
all of them. The thought of having to read the entire lot again in 
order to reject is too much, and if you start to have sections with 
some clearly defined types of post in them, it's easier to quickly 
refresh your mind what the distinction's are that you are trying to 
maintain.

But now Kneasy's put up a fascinating post, and I'm torn between 
answering that and carrying on with this, which since both are about 
the same topic is an interesting multi-tasking dilemma.
