[Seattle-editorial] A few more thoughts for editorial

[BFGalbraith]

For once :) I agree with you completely Walt, (and by
the way, thanks Mr. List administrator for finally
getting me on this list last week.)

Now that you put it this way, I can see why the 3
Newswire sections would actually be better than 2.  I
guess that puts me in 100% agreement with the original
suggestion.

I think we might want to name these Newswire sections
in a way that allows the original authors to place the
posts in the best section for us, so that we have to
do less work.  So we might want to call them "Local"
"Global effects Local" and "Global"... er something.  

How ever we do it, just remember that the reason why
we just can't 'hide' our newswire 'problems' is
because it takes too much labor.  So let us NOT take
on a labor intensive solution, like requireing us to
review each newswire post before it can be put into
the appropriate newswire section.  The less time we
have to spend monitoring the website, the more time we
have to work on our own articles.

I agree that the minimum local/global division of the
newswire is an immediate and obvious need that we
should implement ASAP...
