Gordon, FWIW, I think that is an excellent idea. But I fear that Category 4 -- Media & Personalities -- would only be a back door to allow the Tom Hanks et al. to slip back into the list. And what about The Thinkers and The Saints? Where would old Sigmund Freud (vastly influential, whatever you think of Freudianism) go, for example? Or the Popes? Or Martin Luther King? They are surely more than just "Personalities." How about making Category Four "The Etcetera Category," or "The Everybody Else Category"? <g>

I have considered that option. Right now, I wanted to get something going to debate, but you may be right. Perhaps you would like to take a crack at it?
