Well, yeah I 'think' I can. :D
In the discussion here, in particular regarding the issue of 
said 'qualities' in posts, we can't just run down a list definite 
inclusions one way or the other, like could be done with spearating 
canon from non-canon. Though some, like Kneasy and Carloyn, have 
made a sincere and genuine effort to make a fair distinction, in 
words like discussion vs chat and tennis vs new concepts. So far, it 
seems, that someone (yeah mostly me *blush*) and sometimes more than 
one person, is not quite satisfied with that simplicity.
(Even though it is often me, I definitely feel that my view is yet 
representative of an element of the whole as it were. I am probably 
just the loudest of them.)

Basically - Tennis threads and discussion are not entirely 
separable. And new concepts introduced are not necessarily going to 
be the benefit of reduced 'chattish stuff' (sometimes its just good 
thought provoking challenges to one point of view.)

the same thread in one response.  

Valky:
I realise that, and no this was not the part relative to your post. 
I intended to as a pre-emptive to a question that could come up in 
response the stuff above it.

To be fair I do have to say that your A and B and C style makes 
quite good sense. I don't think I personally could do it, (without 
getting a headache anyway) to be honest, especially after HBP, but 
yeah it makes good sense.
