Right; but pure numbers aren't really helping. Categorizing posts

useful and important to someone (e.g. info about a cool new mindstorms set

That's why I think that written-out statements are more useful than numbers.

Good point -- this is kind of what I was trying to say, although I'd taken
it to a further extreme. (Even less choices.)
