I have to agree completely. Before I discovered Del, I'd been brainstorming how to build my own online bookmark system, which was going to be a hierarchal system. As a student of religion, one particular problem illustrated the deficiency of this system for me: Jewish Christianity. With my system, would I put this under Judaism? Christianity? Devise some clumsy way for it to be in both? It certainly doesn't belong at a higher level on par with either of those parents. Using tags neatly solves the problem.
