My $.02, for what it's worth (not that much), is similar to what most of our colleagues/brethren/sistren/sodalites/whatever have already noted. I am often amused by the labyrinthan course which postings take, starting out with one thing and morphing, sometimes more than once, into something else. Sometimes it's confusing when you are trying to remember where you saw something, since what you saw may have no relation to the title of the original post, but that's a small price to pay for what we get. I guess basically my reaction to any proposal to "regulate" postings is about what I would feel if someone proposed to "regulate" the conversation at a dinner party or any other gathering of friends, like a bunch of people sitting down with pizza and beer. A lot of what we do on this board is glorified conversation, carried on in a rather strange and roundabout way, but conversation nevertheless. And I happen to think that the best conversation bloweth where it listeth, even when it blows hard. And what isn't conversation, but more like a lecture, and we get that too, and very valuable most of it is, can be more rationally fit into the categories available. Since I too tend to read averything in most of the categories, it doesn't really matter too much where anything is, since I'll get to it sometime or other. I guess the bottom line is that I don't think the possible benefits of messing with the system will be worth it.
