Yes, while hitting the reply, I had not read your
Subject header which is unambiguous on what you sought.
- Sorry!

I have also not come across one single document which
lists ALL the categories & "subcategories" - but we can
compile them, I think!

Recall that we set category using the syntax :
category: <your-category> and this <your-category> is like
a "word1.word2" - for example people.normal

In the web pages of internettrash, these two elements,
word1 and word 2 are referred to in different ways -
as "Main Category" and "Subcategory" in some places,
and as "type" and "subtype" in some URLs. For discussion
I shall refer to them below as Main Category and Subcategory.

Now firstly what are names of Main Categories ?

The host's home page,  URL :    <http://internettrash.com/>
presents following link names, numbering totally 9 of them,
rather prominently by the right side of logo (ilog.gif -
which is a "trash can" if you fetch the gif) and under the
title "Community Sites" :

*People, Groups, Generation, Lifestyles, Political,
Sports, Computers, Music , Places*

These nine are the Main categories!

That these are the Main Categories can be confirmed by
fetching the link "SubCategories" appearing on the left
side of the home page under title "Visitors". This link
does NOT link to a page listing the Subcategories, but
it links to a page with another purpose & its URL is:

<http://internettrash.com/newcategories.html>

If you fetch this you will see it is a form for visitors
to suggest more new Subcategories! In that form above the
cage for suggesting a new subcategory, is the drop down
selection box titled "Select A Main Category" from which
first a main category is selected. That drop down list
has the same 9 main categories mentioned above.

So those 9 mentioned above are the Main Category names.

Now what are the names of the Subcategories ?

Each of the 9 main categories appear as a link name in the
home page. For example "People" links to the URL :

<http://internettrash.com/category/people/>

The web page at this URL,  starts with a main subject :
"You Are in Category: people | " .....  etc. as a title
block and below this, there are two columns. The right
side column is on Random Picks of web sites under People
for that day. The left side smaller column titled
"Subcategories" reveals the subcategories for People in
alphabetical order : aliens, alloftheabove, amercianindians,
angry, angryyoungmen .......nerds, newusers, normal,
ordinary, over.40...... etc. I count some 31 of them
(but that is from this page fetched some 3 weeks back!).

So I suppose for each of the balance 8 categories :
*Groups, Generation, Lifestyles, Political, Sports,
Computers, Music, Places* also, we can so find the names
of subcategories under them - by first fetching their URLs :

        http://internettrash.com/category/groups
        http://internettrash.com/category/generation
        .... and so on
and look in them for subcategories which are listed under a
column titled "Subcategories".
