Please bear with me, as I am still learning where to respond to these discussions so as to insert it into the proper position in the train of conversation. Here, I want to respond to Steve & Timwi. Both of you seem to support my original idea of placing a main Category & a subcategory into the same article so that the article appears in both lists. Thank you for that. Getting back to the basic argument & to stay grounded in this, what is the argument some still have against, say, adding the Category: Cancer deaths & the Sub-category: Lung cancer into the same Article? OR, somehow having the software be able to gather all of the articles with the various cancer subcats. into one master Cancer deaths list? Forgive me if I seem to be repeating old material, but, I believe these basic issues need to be kept out in front.
Thanks,
Marc

I don't think anyone can reasonably deny that this is strictly an improvement, no matter how little. Someone who *really wants* the entire list of X'es can now have it, and someone who doesn't can still browse the sub-categories as before. Nothing has been taken away.

Yes, this would be good. But better navigation for categories with large numbers of items would be good. Thousands per page if necessary...
