I created the Discussion/Editorial category before I set up the Talk Boards, and now with the Talk Boards it makes the category redundant.

Now that the Talk Boards are there, its MUCH easier for people to discuss things on the Talk Boards as a 2-way conversation - opposed to Features, where its 1-way, and people can make comments to the article.  But more importantly, I wanted to remove the Discussion/Editorial articles to give more attention to the more significant articles in Features - the interviews, and newsletters.

I didn't just remove articles written by other people.  Some authored by myself were removed as well.  I hope the other guys got a chance to copy or back up any articles they wrote that they may have wanted to save.  I never like to completely remove work done by people.  But I have to make space, and the authors did get advance notice of the category's removal from the A-List.

Also, after messing around with the Author Archives pages and not figuring out why they aren't coming out right - I just decided to disable the Author Archive pages and all links to them.  If people want to look at past articles, they can always look at the Category Archives and the Full Index which do still work correctly.
