Thank you very much Christoph.

I think I understand your aims better now. Let me ask this question.
What if, instead of "mail" or "entry" being the subject of a post,
instead, those were listed as subclasses of post such that I can then
query the database for "mail" as a type of object rather than a
subject?

My motivation is that my question reflects much closer to the way I,
and, gosh, maybe I alone, think. I'd like to do joins on type &
subject because that's how I think. Then, I can ask for all "mail"
objects the subject of which is "bird flu".

Would that move you any closer to a solution to the different media problem?

Thanks again.
Jack
