I was just going through the links database and I a thought struck me. The list does not indicate any General category. You have Beginers, News and all but, no General.
So, if I were to submit a link to a website, which has News, Guides, Reviews where would it go? I figured Misc. but that does not look very good.
I feel that the Misc. category be renamed to General or a new category General should be added.

That is only in the Reviews section. There is separate counts for HCL entries but not for when reviewing them.

Interestingly, I put HCL review in last week for my new Creative external serial modem (very happy ) and my HCL number is still showing 0 - (clarified with Jeremy yesterday the proper way to add to HCL)

If you noticed, the count says "HCL Entries" which doesn't include if you make a review of an already submitted hardware entry.
No, Jeremy don't get me wrong. All I meant was that Misc. would not fit fine for a site which covers News, Reviews, Docs, Guides, Tutorials for Beginers etc. I mean, a site as diverse as to have all this info. has to be put in a category like General.
'Cause, as soon as I hear of Misc. I tend to think that ok, the sites in here are not on any topic mentioned already. They could be on a variety of things and that is fine.
But, like I said above, such a site, which has various features cannot be put into Misc. cause it does have the all the topics that are mentioned explicitly. That is my way of reasoning. That's the way I look at it.
Did I make any sense or was I just rambling out aloud like RMS?
