[Sigia-l] mixing apples and oranges and tomatoes

[Locatelli at aol.com]

Interesting discussion of taxonomies and placement of objects therein. One 
good example of "double-posting" grocery items is that when onion are on sale 
in the store I use, they are featured in a bin just as you come in the front 
door. However, there are also some of the same onions (at the same sale 
price) at the back of the section where onions are normally found. A good 
idea just in case there are folks who don't notice the first bin because they 
are struggling with coats or their cart or because they simply don't expect 
to find onions at the front of the produce section.

I would like to point out that missing in this discussion is the fact that 
there is one tool where all users would easily find tomatoes in one and only 
one place. That's in an alphabetical site index. Tomatoes are under T. No 
question. And from there it doesn't matter where the accompanying link goes.
