Just to be clear, I don't particularly like the extra tags. I think
they clutter things up, and I sometimes get lost in the tags when
trying to read the subject.
However, if you want to keep them there I'm not going to bitch about it
constantly. Reading the subject, or not, is my problem. They don't
actually *hurt* anything even if they don't really help them (in my
mind) either.
My sole point of contention is that they seemed to come as an
accomodation to people who are going to gripe about your postings no
matter what steps you take attempting to get them to lower the alarm
level in their whiny, snivelling, nasally, childish voices. They won't
be happy unless you stop totally, and giving an inch to that bunch of
twats gives them the motivation they need to go on trying to silence
everything you're doing.
If anything, I would have considered dropping the [News] part so they
could wear themselves out throwing tantrums and they would begin taking
their afternoon naps once again. *After* they've been burped, of
course. I'm not wishing any crib deaths on the trolls.
