Thanks for sharing your thought, John. I've gotta clarify I've got enough sense not to spam public tags and in any case would be using namespaced tags (my_bot:tag1, my_bot:tag2 ...) Would I introduce a new citizen to delicious it'd be as quiet and polite as possible. And would definetely not mess with the popular category :) -- Manuel a veces :) a veces :( pero siempre trabajando duro para Simplelógica: apariencia, experiencia y comunicación en la web. http://simplelogica.net # (+34) 985 22 12 65 ¡Ah! y escribiendo en Logicola: http://logicola.simplelogica.net _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@del.icio.us http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
