Generally, if you don't remember to check a box to indicate a catagory, I don't see that as a problem, it just wont get the immediate attention of people who're looking for that catagory. If someone like Leonid would like to call attention to the fact that he's got a position to analyze, then it's to his advantage to check the appropriate box. Posible problem is arguements over which catagory something is actually in. Another posible problem, people being deceptive about the catagory their subject is actually in. That's going to cause an awful lot of annoyed people right there, because when you take the time to open a post (this takes a considerable amount of time in this place sometimes) and it turns out that the person who posted the message was somewhat deceptive about what the subject was, people won't take that very kindly. >The threats could be colored depending on the category and you should be allowed >to aditionally filter certain categories altogether. > >Georg I LIKE that idea. I'm all in favor of anything that allows for better filters. Pete
