[wp-hackers] Hide category

[Paul]

Thanks. Yeah. Would like to improve the plugin to handle pages better.  
Maybe one day soon the power that be will enhance the page hooks to be  
similar to the category and tag hook in wpdb so that one doesn't have  
to resort to parsing the join and where parts of the query.
