I think the child folders are a good idea, however, tonight about three different threads started to discuss something, then began a tangent and interrupted themselves with "that a whole nother story".  I think we need a folder for all those "Whole nother stories."

what about child folers under the new "Ettiquette Hell Classics" folder? One for the HOA lady... and whatever the other classics are. I know there are many, but they are slipping my mind right now :)
TTFN!

I was wondering if perhaps we could put a child folder here for household-y type questions (kind of like Hints from Heloise) that don't really fall under the heading of hostess needs, but still fit in with home and yard...what says you?
I have finally found the bar I can't get thrown out of....

I think the temptation to create numerous "child" folders needs to be tempered with the idea that this forum cannot be everything to everyone.  I've already added more folders and subfolders than the previous forum variations had but making it too big to try and serve every need would be a mistake in my opinion.  So, make suggestions but ultimately I make decisions with the goal being what is best for the forum overall.

Oh, dear, I feel like I'm criticizing my aunt's wallpaper with this suggestion, but what do you think of "child" folders for the Business folder?  It seems as though that could be divided into something like "At Work," where people can talk about their coworkers, and "Customer Service," where people can discuss rude business practices they've encountered.  Or does that come across as splitting hairs?

I like this idea.
