Of course.  I do tag my messages.  

Does everyone else?

OK ... you feel that some improvements could be made.  

We should address that question by gathering some data 

You identified issue #1, messages: OnTopic v. OT, OoP, 
Humor, Rant ... 

What are the other issues that impact the utility of the 
list, the efficiency of the list, the time it takes to 
read the list, ... ?  

I'll keep track of the replies and add a few of my own hot 
button issues later.
