I ask, because this isn't the first time "tags" have been proposed as |
| 8 |
the magic solution to everything. Each previous time, everyone has had |
| 9 |
a slightly different, incompatible idea of what "tags" are, what |
| 10 |
they're supposed to do, and how they're supposed to do it. So I would |
| 11 |
like to see someone explain in detail, and without glossing over the |
| 12 |
inconvenient technicalities, just how "tags" will help with "searching". |

Could, maybe. But the current lack of intuitive GUI and the lack of |
| 19 |
statistical analysis both have absolutely nothing to do with not having |
| 20 |
tags... |
