NOTE: After re-reading tubemonkey's and Froid's messages, consolidated in post #3355, I think that they answered the questions that I posed below.
It's not that the great tubemonkey is hard to understand; it is that some (well, one, at least) of his devoted followers are dense . . . .
Let's take the Grimme series of podcasts, for example . . . . it seems clear, now, that since it is downloadable, it could go into the "Audiobooks" subforum. That make sense to me, because there's little difference between a downloadable podcast and an audiobook.
However, let's suppose that the Grimme podcasts were
not downloadable, but
only streamable. Would the "Audiobooks" subforum, or the "Non-Fiction" subforum, be the "appropriate forum for the collection?"
In the first case, you would have items that are not really audiobooks; in the second case, you would have an awkward mixture of media on the same subject or topic.
Using the Grimme podcasts as an example, I suppose that someone could just create a separate thread, in the non-sticky area. It's not like people are trying to bust down the doors to post items like that, anyway . . . .
I'm not trying to be obnoxious, just wanting clarification.
