so, is this like an index? you would look up longarms and it would say "chit-chat", "buy/sell", or give the quilting board page #?

Sounds good going forward, but how would you deal with existing posts? Can we make category suggestions here?

Bags, Aprons, and such

It would be similar to "real" sections. Just like you can open Main or Pictures and see all topics in the section, we would have more virtual sections.

The existing topics wouldn't belong to any virtual category unless the authors choose to go back and assign some of their topics.

I think it would make sense to add them as needed instead of planning ahead.

Personally I think it is redundant in a way......I mean that in a most respectful way. Isn't that what the Search feature is for? I mean I put in D9P for example and wala....I have all the examples or links I want on the subject.

Why give yourself more work? It all works wonderfully as is. That is all I am saying.
