Then, you'd have to have standardised tags if you wanted people to find you based on interests. All my snarky tags would have to go :( and I would really hate that. (I am starting to get into the habit of using tags consistently. But they are rarely things like "heroes", "work", "politics" or "israel" and far more often things like "oh tim kring no", "life at princeton-plainsboro", "i want my country back" and "yes I am a zionist".) > That might not work so well in some cases, however, because I > am fairly sure that there are things that I am interested in > (reading about, thinking about, talking about in comments) and > have listed as LJ interests that I've never posted about or > created tags for on my own. Yeah. I don't have a tag for a lot of the things I have listed as interests. **************************************************************** Azalais Aranxta (~malfoy) ataniell93 on LiveJournal and Vox http://groups.yahoo.com/group/malfoymadness "I know the true world, and you know I do.
