Hello again.  Finished another categoy (actually, four categories)... 
comments below.  I've attached .csv files for all except the GRIMS 
category, since it only contained one post, and I've commented below 
on my confusion with that one post.  In addition to my normal 
markers, I marked a few of the posts with "sh", for Stoned!Harry.  
I'd like some group input on what to do with those posts (see below).
 
On the hurricane front, I've finally gotten some news.  My cat was 
evacuated safe and sound, and is now on her way to my sister's, so 
that was very good news.  My apartment, well, not so much.  I've 
attached a picture, just for shock value [Note from CW: posted in 
file section].  I knew from the reports I had been getting that my 
apartment was doomed, but even so, my jaw hit the ground when my dad 
sent me that picture.  Never underestimate the power of lots o' 
water.  Luckily, it looks like my insurance should cover most of what 
I lost.
 
Okay, on to the review...
 
********************************************************Review
 
This first comment will apply to all symbolism categories.  I'm 
undecided what to do about Stoned!Harry posts.  Since this theory is 
so symbolism-based, most posts carry multiple symbolism 
subcategories: colours, green, red, wood, metal, and alchemy & 
Rosicrucianism.  I was thinking it might be easier to simply remove 
all the symbolism codes, since the Stoned!Harry code itself implies 
the link.  For now, I've left them as they are, pending a group 
decision.  Any thoughts?
 
Moving on to the Colors (pardon, Colours) category.  I don't know if 
this problem only exists in my version of the catelogue, but I have 
two 1.2.13.2.1's: Green and GRIMS.  They seem to peacefully coexist, 
but perhaps it should be fixed?
 

1.2.13.2 Colours
--------------------
Originally: 36
Now: 27
 
Discussion of colors and color symbolism, not specifically focused on 
red and/or green.  If red and/or green is the main topic of the post 
(even if other colors, usually gold and silver, are also mentioned), 
keep the post in the subcategories.  However, if red/green are 
mentioned in equal weight to other colors (i.e. discussion of all 
house colors), use only the main category.
 

1.2.13.2.1 (a) Green 
--------------------
Originally: 70
Now: 62
 
Discussion and lists of all things green.  
 
Many of the posts here disucssed the significance of Harry's green 
eyes.  Because 2.5.1.0 Harry's eyes is a pretty recent creation, few 
of the posts I came across carried this category.  I decided to keep 
those posts in 1.2.13.2.1 but also to add the 2.5.1.0 code.  Some 
carried the main 2.5.1 Harry Potter code, but those may have been 
moved to 2.5.1.0 in the Harry review, which isn't reflected in my 
version of the catalogue; I didn't touch these, just noted that the 
eyes category should be added.  
 
About 20 of the posts here were part of the "All things green" St. 
Patrick's Day contest to list five quotes from the series referencing 
the color green.  No discussion, but a handy list.
 
1.2.13.2.1 (b) GRIMS
--------------------

What does this acronym stand for?  The one post here was about 
Harry/Voldemort yin-yang symbolism, and included some red-green 
discussion, but never mentioned the acronym.  Perhaps it was coined 
later?  Or was mistakenly placed here due to the double use of the 
category number?
 
1.2.13.2.2 Red
--------------------
Originally: 40
Now: 35
 
Discussion and lists of all things red, especially Gryffindor, 
Voldy's eyes, and hair.  Much discussion in conjunction with green; 
these posts are dual coded to the two color subcategories (but not to 
the main Colours heading).
