And you don't think that what Google is providing is a file system? TONY, YOU ARE DOING I ALL WRONG!!!! >I won't argue that tags may be the future. My other point though had >to do with the hassle of having to *manually* tag items. Some people think that putting files into folders is a terrible pain and just drop all their files on the desktop. Do you do that? >I don't see why your spending time adding tags to your emails is going >to help you recall a post or thread from history. What can I say? TONY, YOU ARE DOING I ALL WRONG!!!! >Why can't Gmail et all _automatically_ add tags depending on the content >of the post/email? It kind of does already. You can Google search your emails. Manually applied tags just give you some additional control. Right around the corner will be control by brain waves. As you read and think about the email the computer will identify the proper labels to use. Kids will pick up this new skill quickly. Almost nobody over 50 will be able to do it at all. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
