No, I think that's folders for folders sake and we'd end up replicating TT which we don't wanna do, do we?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

But if the idea of the TV folder was to neaten the home page, wouldn't a reading and writing folder help accomplish that goal?

Well, wasn't the point of the TV folder that TV is where proliferation is rifest*? If we suddenly get calls for a Jonathan Strange thread and a Margery Allingham thread and a thread for the Booker then it would make sense, but we pretty much have a static very small number of book threads.

*It's a word now. Sue me.

Our wings are not tired.

I thought it was an organizational thing. Then a reading/writing folder makes sense. A Message Center person myself, so no matter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My idea was to make it so the front page didn't grow anymore, because it was unwieldy. I feel that has been achieved.

I would second that in a heartbeat.

If I only had a brain...

Can I have a link in the bottom of the page that's something like "Folder message center"? Right now, I read by

Message Center -> TV Folder -> Veronica Mars -> Message Center lather, rinse, repeat.

What do you mean by folder message center?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Message Center -> TV Folder -> Veronica Mars -> Message Center lather, rinse, repeat.

I don't understand this. The Message Center doesn't have folders.
