It seems to me that the only relevant [AD] tags are for job openings and
product announcements.

Note that both of these imply a "start of thread" or "original post." I see
no reason to preface legitimate replies with [AD] tags, even if the reply
consists of only "my product does that."

It also seems to me that the only person on this list arguing for more [AD]
tags is Charles. Does anyone else actually feel that [AD] tags help to
clarify responses in any way; or that that the list has a problem with a
lack disclosure of some posters' possible commercial self-interest?

I move to stop the [AD] nagging.
