i like the idea of categorized messages too, with all of them accessed in /under
general .
i like the effort done already on this message board.
how about something along the lines of each message posted being put into a
category by a keyword (similar to what the search would bring up)?
the above catagories would be in each users 'profile' as check boxes.
then that would be the default each user would see when going to the message
board. (hmm 
logging in then...)
or when message board is accessed the check boxes can be cheqked off with what
one wants to see that particular session. no logging in until replying.
just a thought
