(a) government employees,
(b) tenured faculty,
(c) LIS graduates,
(d) freshmen,
(e) the transgendered,
(f) Mac users,
(g) laid-off dotcommers,

I always thought you used the Screwy Decimal System.
Good post and lists despite the fact that you have excluded LSD users quite preemptively.
There was one vote for the Dewey System, one for the Louie system and two votes for the Uncle Scrooge system, but then the Library of Congress was mentioned which triggered a lot of TMI reminiscing about how people had spent time in the Stacks when they should have been studying.
You see there, there is the problem, you cannot combine lists with reminiscing (yes I spell checked that), and wordverf agrees with dedlyst and I am finding it hard to even make my didiculous (did not spell check because it is such a cool word i made there) arguments make any connection to reality...my inner meds say your post has triggered some unlatency in my recursive arguments departments.
I always like going down there to watch those little guys and their ladders and such. They don't like it if you throw bits of breadroll at them, which is not very sporting.

It's so dreamy
Oh, fantasy, free me!
So you can't see me
No, not at all.
In another dimension
With voyeuristic intention,
Well secluded, I see all.
