Maybe you have stopped using wikipedia as a reader altogether? I and
many happy readers find great use for gategories. I read wikipedia pages
on the average three pages a day, and I would say one in five of those
page reads, I have to take recourse in the category system. The fact that
I get about a 50% usefulnes rate out of the categories, doesn't mean
that half the time they are useful for me.

Just because you think something about something, please, give a bit
of a thought that you are not the supreme arbiter of what everybody
should think. I do not object your stating your personal opinion. But it
is just your personal opinion. Do you have references to any pages or
other sources that support there is *any* significant portion of wikipedians
or wikipedia readers who feel even close to the way you feel?

Or are you just a voice crying out in the wilderness?
