Norm, I like your ideas. I have always said that there needs to be a few more categories (Forum Topics). Most recent category additions were: 1. Bob Lusks Blog, 2. News, Announcements, PBF Guide, 3. Q-A Archives, 4. Raising Bait and Forage, 5. Fertilization. Adding a couple more categories is especially important now that the participation has increased and it continues to grow. Let's see if Bob can act or comment on this. Remember it may depend on a money issue.
It is a good idea for the moderators to move topics if they are placed inappropriately. I for one will try to pay attention to this. MEMBERS - Do not hesitate to suggest to a moderator (email or PM - private message) if you think an old post needs to be moved to a different category. I think it would make this task less problematic if there were more categories.
I think your suggestion of , "Births, deaths and personal announcements"
could all be appropriately placed in the News, Announcements & PBF Guidelines forum category
