Robert -
   I have added "good" and "bad" to the list of pending phrases.

   As to the specifications of directories for sounds in certain 
groups: yes, I think that is a good idea, but I am unsure how to 
implement it.  Mark and I touched on that last night while adding the 
sounds to the CVS server, but I told him not to create a separate 
directory for weather terms because it would be difficult splitting 
the sounds into categories, which is perhaps only laziness on my part.
   I thought that in the future it would be difficult to determine 
what words should be put in their own directories versus what words 
should be moved to the "main" directory.  As an example, if one were 
to do a network monitoring list of sounds (which, actually, I have 
had Allison already do now that I look at my archives) then a partial 
list of sounds would be "up", "host", "down", "dns" and "ping".  The 
terms "host" and "ping" clearly should be in a directory with 
monitoring sounds.  But... where would "down" go?  It's generic 
enough that it should really go in the main directory.   However, 
it's specifically a part of the monitoring sound set.  So where does 
it go?  I couldn't come up with an answer on this, so I just ignored 
the question for now.  :-)  Opinions welcome.
