Hi Bill,
As per Buddha's teaching, when we are attached to form, five poison
arises. They are [greed], [anger], [delusion], [arrogance],
[suspicion]. Buddha also remind us to avoid the four notions. They are
notions of [self],[human][sentient being],[death]. Then Buddha asked us
to drop the [attachment to self] and [attachment to dharma]. These are
fundamental practices of Chan. I see them rampant through out Zen Forum.
These are tags we can insert into subject line. So that we all can
learn and be awakened from them.
Because moderation disables our ability to encounter these issues, while
these are the issues we can grow from. These are part of our practice
and necessary mirrors for each of us to reflect from.
Let me know if you have more questions.

JMJM,
Interesting suggestion. I guess it's the new e-version of 'The Scarlet
Letter'.
I'm not sure what 'tagging' is or how to do it, but I will discuss
this with Edgar and let everyone know our decision.
