Tip: Building Keyword listWith the demise of the Groups system here on FreeRepublic (which was itself a modification of an earlier system, from the years BC -- before 'Civ) it will be more important than ever to make sure new topics, as well as old ones we wish to keep track of, have a decent, coherent set of keywords.
a: Load the article in a word processor, text editor, or other program capable of search and replace to insert line breaks (carriage returns, whatever you call them) and sorting a column of text.I hope this has been of some help to everyone.
b: Do a search and replace on the space character, changing all to line breaks.
c: Sort the column of text.
d: Begin to glimpse the genius / mania of being me.
e: Starting at the top of the sorted list (which will be in alpha order, with the duplicates conveniently grouped together), highlight the terms not to be included and delete them.
f: Get rid of "the" and "a" (which you should be able to do with search and replace, as long as you precede and follow the term with a line break) and other common words.
g: Select words (like names of people quoted, nations, technical terms) which are distinctive as well as terms related to the topic. For example, an article about the mass-murdering criminal Arafat should include keywords like "PLO" and "terrorism" as well as "Israel".
