Mine are too, but you'd be amazed at the number of notes I keep
related to a task.  For example, a simple task of 'Fix backup server'
turned into a 3 day bug-hunting frenzy with about 6 different notes
related to it.  I use "project pages" more or less as categorizing
tags (ala delicious).  So, this particular task was filed under
'BackupMaintenance' because, well, that's what it was :)

But there were other notes thrown in here in between the 'Fix backup
server' task notes.  It would be nice to see the notes related to just
this task if I ever needed to, without the noise of the other
unrelated notes.

Ooh, this is really neat!  How do you do that?

I'm basically doing all that manually, and it's getting tedious :)

I'll try defun'ing it when I get the change :)
