Unfortunately we never got a chance to test and tweak our list in
Diablo, so a Fremantle list might as well just be the same thing. . .

This has been discussed before, and my stance on it is: absolutely

of the categories. I have to get to work, but hopeful Andrew can
elaborate more about why it's a bad idea. ;)
