Who is going to add those tags to the subject line?

I have seen this kind of suggestion on *every* internet forum 
(WEB bulletin board, eMail list, or newsgroup) that I have ever 
used.  

A better effort would be to begin by finding out what people 
*want* the SCA-Cooks list to do ... then design the solution.  

Analysis then synthesis.  NOT the other way around.
