That's how directories are used.

Not sure what you're saying here... Are you criticizing me because I (and other people) don't use directories in the limited way they are setup (which could be why not many people use them), or are you agreeing with me that directories are not setup for the logic in which many people look for things?

I never said I don't want to use a directory. I do, in fact, use them. The reason I don't use them more is precisely because I can't always find what I'm looking for in the category I expect.

Am I really that far off base to think that people prefer to go to exactly the category they want instead of having to hunt around several related categories?

I'm not posting these messages to start a flame war. We are in the process of building a niche directory-type structure for one of our domains. So if no one else uses directories the way I see as being more efficient, then I'm not going to waste my time building it that way, and we will follow everyone else's structure.
