Quidditch and other comments

Hi.

I just finished the Quidditch section of my review and I have a 
comment.  This category has a lot of overlap, and some posts are 
coded to more than one section, which is fine, but so we're all on 
the same page definition-wise, let's define "player".

Under "History, Players, Balls and Rules" let's define "player" as 
the position played.  For example, if the post is about Harry as a 
Seeker, it would go here, but if it is about Harry as a team member, 
then it would go under "House Quidditch Teams".  Many posts talk 
about both, and are coded to both, which is fine.  

There are posts about whether or not the Slyth team cheats, which 
sometimes goes under "rules", and sometimes under "house" and 
sometimes under both. 

I did a lot of re-shuffling, so they're where they belong now.  The 
lines between the categories are quite blurry, but darned if I could 
find a better way to sort them. <cheesy grin>

I would also propose that pretty much anything to do with Krum, the 
Irish side, etc. go under WQC, as it is the smaller of the potential 
categories, and fits well there.  Unless we're discussing the rules, 
in which case, it would go there (or possibly to both).

Clear as mud?  Of course!  That's how the section seems to be.

On to other stuff. 

Add me to the list of those who would like to do something to help 
Kelly.  Shocked by the pic, relieved about the cat.

Jen, you're taking Snape?  As my mommy would say, "Why, bless your 
lil old pea-pickin heart".  I have no idea why she says that, but 
it's reserved for special surprises, and someone actually 
volunteering for Snape fits the bill.

Add me to agreement that lab rats should be recruited to test our 
little experiment.  An outside opinion is a good thing.  They may 
have input on things which seems obvious to us, that someone who 
hasn't been coding and reviewing may not see when presented with the 
whole of it at once.  Remember how intimidated we all were when we 
first looked at all those categories for the first time?  

Totally OT, I was watching the Minnesota Vikings (American football) 
game today.  (I root for whomever is playing against them.)  They 
have a player called Mewelde Moore, which always sounded like 
Voldemort when the announcers said it.  Tickled me to no end.  The 
Vikes got their tails creamed, but I couldn't chortle too loudly, as 
my beloved Lions got kicked too.  

I'm sure I'll remember something else in about 5 minutes.

Ginger, who needs to make a stern rule for herself about cleaning 
house before doing any work here as the housework doesn't get done.
