About Post Labels

Most of the labels found above the headlines throughout Galaxy will be self explanatory. Below are some labels we believe require some further explanation to clearly differentiate between types of posts that will appear repeatedly in Galaxy.  The labels above the headlines apply to the content of the original post not the comments that may follow it.  Those comments will include the opinions and/or information sharing by their authors.
