Only in your head... ;-)

So what you are saying is we should have a group like .images then sub groups
like .images.movies, .images.photography, etc... and links on the .images html
page to .cad.ray et al?
You know what Todd this kinda reminds me of a problem city planners have... You
see at every intersection you have crosswalks for pedestrians. the problem here
is two special needs groups. Those who are physically challenged that need the
curb to ramp the sidewalk to the roadway allowing them easy access to cross and
the blind who would prefer to have a curb that makes it easy to distinguish
between sidewalk and roadway with a cane. Either way you cannot entirely
accomodate both groups. All that said...
I think you should keep Studios in the theme portion of the hierarchy and the
movies in the other portion (non-theme). As far as .cad.ray is concerned, it
can stay where it is. Yes, there will always be an overlap between the groups
but you need to draw a line and established groups should not be effected too
much. After all, if .cad.ray is removed out of .cad then .cad is incomplete.
Then of course you can add links to your heart's desire on the .publish group
html page to all of your creations.
OR
.publish becomes the root and you add .publish.movies and .publish.photo and
add a link on the .publish html to .cad.ray
Wow, from a simple question to understand what Todd meant, this post has become
a group of vaguely related thoughts. Thanks Todd, you warped my mind with your
illogical logic. ;-)
