Pony request: categories for favorites? [more inside]

New comments on category pages. I'm not marking this a bug, because I don't want to be asinine about it. [más adentro]

We already know that each thread has an (unused) category field.

Any chance that the following process can happen:

1. Categories are decided.

2. A team then allocates each thread to a category. (Happy to do it myself)

3. sports.metafilter, politics.metafilter etc. resolve to categories.

Recently there's been an awful lot of posts each day on Metafilter. This is great, except that topics I'm involved with are flying down the page very quickly, and I'm losing track of what discussions I'm in. So, I had an idea.

Now, after reading the earlier thread about 'limiting the site to 10,000 users', perhaps my idea is good. Perhaps it's bad. It's probably not implementable, but here it is anyway.

Why not allow people to choose a category for their postings? Just like Memepool does. For example.. 'Crazy'.. 'Fad'.. 'Politics'.. etc. While the front page would continue to show all posts, it would nice to filter them myself, and not have front page posts moderated by someone else (which seems likely in the future). No?
