I will agree with you Texrat that no 1 solution is going to suffice for everybody. It just won't happen.. even if we decide on a structure on and reformat.. chances are likely in 4-6 months someone else will have a "better" idea and start this all over again.

I just don't think there's ever going to be a way around that. I do think that a rotative system like I (you?) described (I don't know if it's what you meant, but that's what I took from your idea's previously) might work for a while.. as it at least has some form of "future" look built into it.. simply moving sub-categories to their respective areas.. but still - someone will dislike it, or want more granular detail, or less detail, or less and more... with a cherry, icing, a chocolate cake.

That's just the Internet, really the human species, though.
