For what it's worth; I didn't read Fran's original suggestion as "asking that every post be tagged in some way." I thought she was only recommending that we establish a small set (no more than 4, say) of common tags (such as "CHAT:") that people would be encouraged to use. I apologize for not having been clearer myself. I don't think that more can be done on *any* list, since the only practical means of enforcement (cutting off the offender's list access) would tend to kill off the list. -- Cathy Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity." --Robert Frost _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
