Jon -
I'm not sure what you're saying, especially in relation to the part 
of my post that you've quoted, in which  I was simply wondering if 
there were alternate ways in which the existing data could be 
organized or searched, (without involving intensive editorial 
action), or if, in fact, the structure of that data, as it now 
exists, is fairly immutable.

As to the second part (above)- "Maybe...", taken from Chris's  Sat, 
19 Jul 2008 11:55:36 -0400 post, I thought it was clear that I would 
have liked to more easily refer back to the discussion he was referencing...

My point was, what, if anything, given the existing data structure, 
would have made greater specificity less onerous, for Chris.

Out of curiosity, I am periodically trying to interact with the list 
through the archives, as you do.  How, exactly, do you reply from the 
archives?  If you respond, please either do so privately or change 
the subject heading.

Thanks -
