Thanks Mario, 

One observation I meant to add was that my current Tiddlywiki has ~200 
subject tags, six months ago there were perhaps ~100 subject tags ( that's 
a guess ).

I found that old tiddlers that had settled to the bottom of the stream and 
were rarely 'caught' were not tagged as well as they could be simply 
because lots of tags did not exist when they were written and I suppose 
their were fewer tiddlers to link to.  

Going with the fishing in the 'stream' analogy ...

I am finding that part of the benefit of the random option is that these 
tiddlers are now appearing now and then at the surface of the stream and 
this is a a great opportunity to add newer tags that did not exist when 
they were written, if they 'deserve' it then they get more links and tags 
and 'come back to life' by being better connected. 

I guess tiddlers that are not so useful just sink down to the bottom again 
until next time they are 'lucky' enough to be picked in the random list and 
so there is perhaps a Darwinian principle at work with ideas,  I like that 
! Of course something that is just plain rubbish can be deleted but there 
are always inbetween cases and some tiddlers become more useful as 
understanding changes and improves, I like this concept of recycling from 
the bottom of the stream with a built-in tendency for good ideas to get 
promoted and that it changes and adapts over time.
