K5 Gus Feb 2020 12:36pm, 10 Feb 2020 3,331 posts	0 K5 Gus Fetch's response to LMH in the comments on his 15th Jan blog implies that he thought the categories were pretty useless because people often used the wrong category when creating threads. I'm sure I remember reading him going into a bit more detail on that somewhere, whether it was an earlier blog or a thread, I can't recall - if only there was a decent search we could maybe find it
