It's things like that that makes that chart a worthless waste of disk space on any server it sits on.

Hmm.. I'll think we'll have to agree to disagree. I'm not OCD enough that I *have* to follow publish order and I don't think *anything* is missed if I follow the recommended story arcs in that chart.
As gmw quotes Pratchett above:

By and large, most Discworld books have stood by themselves, as complete books. It helps to have read them in some kind of order, but it's not essential.

My order is the story arcs. Your order is publication date. Good for both of us.
