I would like to suggest that we adopt a convention for tagging threads only in a helpful spirit.
That is the convention. Again, I don't think anyone is going to come onto this thread and champion the cause of spurious, nonhelpful tags.

This is a case of subtle threadcrapping, which is against the rules. It's made more confusing by the lack of clear attribution for tags. I'll see if one of the higher-up admins can research who tagged what, and (assuming so), we'll have a talk with the tagger.
