i do know how to use tags and do indeed search using them on other sites, what i was saying is that they dont work here, nor do they need to. theres an insufficient number of threads on relatively similair topics that a heavily policed tagging systems would improve over a power search. therefore tags become superfluous, and thus get used as comedic commentary rather than ignored. it works for us, if you dont like them dont read them. or if you are obsessed with things being used for their original purpose only please renounce your n900 and go back to using a one line green and black display telephone and a desktop, an internet tablet is obviously an unacceptable bastardisation of the telephone and the pc.
