Where my obsessive-compulsive hobby of compiling top ten lists for everything takes its final form – my master index of pages for the finished top ten lists, along with any special mentions or honorable mentions.
My usual rule is twenty special mentions for each top ten (where the subject matter or number of candidates permits, which I suppose would make that top ten in reality a top thirty) – and honorable mentions for entries beyond that.
Of course, the master index of pages is itself in the form of a top ten – my top ten of top tens, if you will – because it just wouldn’t be obsessive-compulsive otherwise.
