Notes on how posts have been classified:

• Classifications are somewhat arbitrary. Many Listserv members will post a message that responds to multiple other posts, and thus cannot be classified very easily.

• Some posts take off on tangents unrelated to the original posts. This can make threads hard to follow.

• Some classifications have related classifications - e.g., cleaning out old nests and blowflies.

• The "Miscellaneous" classification (which started out as "Basics") is used for posts that don't fit well into another classification.
