[CAUT] Pianopedia - Good intentions gone wrong

Jon -
I will, at my peril, ignore  Dr. Baden's assessment that dead is, in 
fact, dead, and try once again to be clear.  In the interchange 
below, I asked a question, I didn't propose anything.  I'm asking if 
there are alternatives to the way the existing data can be 
manipulated, organized, or structured.  It's a technical question, 
which Andy Rudoff could probably answer, but which I certainly 
can't.  For example, would it be possible to retroactively 
attach  'category tags' to existing messages that could allow them to 
be consolidated, by such categories, even if they key word was not in 
the subject line?

  I'm baffled as to why my intent keeps getting twisted.  You repeat 
the reference to the Journal, but my question has nothing to do with 
creating a parallel data base, nor any other 'format' like the Journal's.

If I misconstrue or am otherwise projecting a hint of condescension 
in the remainder of your post, I apologize, though I vaguely sense 
that "proof in the puddin' " translates more accurately as "put up or 
shut up".

Best wishes -
