Another thought on categories is that, IMO, they'd do a bit of disservice to a lot of people. I'd support having such a form available to the critiquer, but, in a lot of cases I can see it limiting the feedback. For instance, most of the time that I spend analyzing and interpreting a piece in my head, I just let whatecer thoughts come to me, follow them to their conclusions, and then move to the next thought. For those of us who work in that way, it would limit us to immediately give us a "form" to which we were adhering, and it would probably actually do the reverse of what it was intended for. So, my thought is this: Leave the critiquing open so that people don't feel they have to stick to a predetermined method, but make it available so that if the person wants to use it they can easily access it, and apply the format to their post. This all assumes, also, that R'osity's coding guy has the time to set something up. As I understand it, they've been keeping him pretty overloaded, and one person locked in a cage being fed bread and water can only do so many things at once. ( That's an inside reference to one of Micheleh's posts elswhere. ) Regards, Paul P.S.: Sorry about the spam above, again... I'd just put in a twelve hour day of physical labor for my family, and hadn't posted for a while. It's Paul's law: The length of my posts in inversely proportional to the number of post I make in a sitting, while remaining geometrically explosive to the power of time I've been thinking about them. Summed up as L = ( x^P ) / n.
