Splurging every significant link in the site in a set of lists at the top
of every page probably isn't ideal for the speed of the site, or its
usability in browsers without JS (who wants to scroll through four screens
of links on each page of a site)?
Linking to category index pages is probably a better approach most of the
time.
I agree wholeheartedly. In the case of menu scripts we write, this is how
we'd like to see folks who use our scripts deploy them:

It's like those alcoholic beverage commercials where they end with a note to
drink responsibly :-)
