I think I understand both your and Rhuto's point of view. Now you can have mine.
I read Tarot, so it never crosses my mind to browse other reading forums for petitions, since I believe I am not apt to help in them. Also, I can see how people who sometimes just register in order to request a reading (and are never seen again) will not waste time reading any guidelines and will or will not use the subject line to specify the reading they want.
But also, I think that the way it is now, newbies can clearly see there are all these options for different readings and can head where they feel help will come to them more easily.
And yes, I believe the reading forums move too fast to get them all in one: it would be a bit chaotic to dive into one forum only that had the traffic of all put together. Just requests for a single day might be pages long (well, at least one), and many do not get an answer on the day they are posted, so they would get lost in previous pages and never get an answer.
So, if any one believes other lines of expertise are not covered by the present reading forums, I think it would be a good idea to add new reading forums under these other disciplines so that seekers have a wider range to chose from and readers only have to check their own areas (of course, many readers have several areas of expertise: tough on them for being so clever!

).
