instead of the (yes, broken) mis-posting in the wrong sections which is all too rampant with the few mislocated sections that we have now.
I've never been convinced that the majority of "wrong section" posts are people who either didn't try to find the right section, deliberately posted to the wrong section, or simply didn't care. That doesn't mean there isn't a measurable number of posts that are honest confusion; I've been here for just over two years and sometimes have trouble deciding where to post something.
And you're right about change; a lot of people resist it just because it takes away something familiar, which is our comfort zone. I've always thought it was odd that OTB and F&G were in the same catagory as About Baut and Q&A. I've found it odd that Q&A is seperated from Gen Sci
[edit: seperated as in different sections. I understand the need to have the different sub-sections], when they're both fairly closely related (only difference is one is strictly Space/Astro, which related Physics and the other is Science At Large). As noted above, I've always been a little hazy on the exact pupose to the Small Media section (space only? any media that would be of interest to this community at large? any media period?).
And a few other oddities. But my point was, none of this has ever been anything that's meant more than a passing shrug to me. That's why I said it's not like I'd go up in arms if they were changed. I just never thought it was something important enough to have long drawn-out discussions about.
In other words, like usual, I'm saying a lot but meaning very little.
