I think.). A good category interface would, I think looks something like this: it would be a column of text fields, each containing the name of a category. The text fields would be editable. So if I clicked on a field with 'Philosophy::Zen' and I del'd a ':', the entire Philosophy::Zen category would be renamed Philosophy:Zen. If instead, I removed the entire '::Zen', it would be merged with the 'Philosophy' category. If I filled in a new field, a new empty category would be created. And so on. > 1.

I was taught that it was good manners (for both the person one is corresponding with, and for future readers) to tell someone whether their suggestion actually was useful, and if not, why - just as it is polite to respond to emails like yours and not simply ignore them.
