Miss H is working late, trying to get her in-tray to managable size 
before re-entering RL tomorrow. Carefully, she peels apart a stack of 
parchment stuck together with the remains of what look like squashed 
insects. Yurrk:

>Dot (who might be persuaded to relax the copyright demands of that 
>silly hat photo, in exchange for one of Miss H with a kneazle or two 
and a pretty Christmas hat at an amusingly rakish angle...)

C: Well, you got one of me in Virginia Woolf mode, so what are we 
waiting for Dr Dung? (She looks like the mad Hatter, very funny).

Jen: 
>Great necklace, btw.

C: Has received adverse comment in my incredibly conservative new 
workplace. Likened to Hell's Angels gear. People are concerned I 
might start biting heads off chickens if riled..

Jen:
The only recommendation I have is rolling Wicca into religious 
influences if that's acceptable. There were only 19 posts I kept for 
that category and most of them discussed Christianity and other 
religions anyway.

C: I'll do that. Doesn't sound like it's worth keeping the separate 
category

>Debbie staggers into the Catalogue office, looking haggard and wild-
eyed, and wielding a machete. The staffers look up, "Vengeance is 
mine!" she shouts, the machete glinting in a shaft of sunlight as she 
waves it above her head.

>*Anne staggers in, dragging a machete worn down almost to a nub*

Miss H beams happily. All that training is paying off..what we have 
here is a well-oiled killing machine. Surely it will warm Kneasy's 
black old heart and dispel his New Year gloom? Can't wait to let you 
lot loose on the current list. Made the mistake of popping over there 
recently. Not a good idea. Repetitive is the most tactful word I can 
think of.

Anne (and Debbie!), big thanks - amazing dedication. Well done to 
have cleared such huge sections.

Anne:
Er... to sum up, I think we can empty 2.5.1 into a new level 4
category called "Harry as literary construct/type." What do people
think, am I making sense? Can anyone think up a better name?

C: Anne, that's fine. I've created exactly the same sort of section 
for Voldemort.

Anne:
2.5.1.6.4 Time turner!Harry theories:
There are only six posts in here. As I recall, Carolyn created this
category to quarantine these becaue they irked her. Sorry, Miss, but
I don't think they really deserve a category of their own -- it only
draws *more* attention to them, anyway. Recommend folding them back
into 2.5.1.6.

C: Okey doke. Again, have a TTT section for Voldemort for the same 
reason! Probably the same posts..

Anne:
So, Carolyn -- shall I do some more work on Harry's character
traits/maturation before you change any category numbers, or shall I
do something else?

C:
Will implement all your new category numbers and suggestions when I 
have a moment this week - going back to work tomorrow alas :(

Suggest you wait until I have done that before doing any final 
shifting/fine-tuning of categories if you can bear to look at them 
all again.

Ginger:
Here's to you, Anne.  Thousands of posts and you're still 
ambulatory.  And coherent.  Keep drinking; it'll go away soon enough.
 
C: Seconded! And Happy New Year to you all.
