Count me as an anti-tag vote.

All too often I see tags turn into a bizzare police-state thing where
new users are (sometimes violently) chastised for failure to anticipate
needing one of a dozen obscure tags for every post, leading them to give
up on posting all together.

I'm very capable of putting my LUG email in its own folder
automatically, and there isn't that much of it.

I don't think we want to go raising the bar for cost-of-entry for new
users, and I'm not looking forwards to every post having 3 follow-on
posts complaining about lack of / improper use of tags.
