Those tags are complete garbage! They waste important subject line
space and screw with sorting by threads. Replies in one batch, original
subject else in the alphabet which is really distressing when one does
want to keep up with threads. I hate the damn things on any list that has
them especially the high volume lists. As much as the poor souls who
can't filter want a tag I don't. If this is really being considered by
the list admin I want to voice my opinion against it now.
