Tagging posts properly isn't hard to do and greatly improves the overall quality of the site. Nobody who thinks about what tags are appropriate for a post and what aren't should ever tag a post incorrectly.

- sorry I had to step away there LITERALLY was an insurance salesman at my door.

You are correct it is not difficult. Yet it is still a learned thing. They wish to attract a lot of people here. Have you ever by chance taken a Systems Analysis & Design course? Since that focuses on exactly this problem. Assuming because something works for you that it is easy for everyone else. I am not writing any of these posts because they are happening to me. I am writing them because I am seeing them happening to other people. In many cases in situations where they shouldn't even BE happening. So no matter what your opinion is of how anyone should have "common sense" to do this is. It is irrelevant as I'm already seeing people having problems and most of these people are fairly tech savy. We want to attract a larger audience and these problems are likely to multiply. My posts are because this platform is AWESOME and its potential is WORLD CHANGING. It doesn't need baggage from other places that is known to cause strife. It is totally not needed. Fortunately it is in beta and hopefully the people that are designing it will see these things and think of some more experiments to try on us. I am fine with being a guinea pig. I've written a lot of software in my time, and I've seen a lot of software fail due to assumptions and arrogance of the programmers believing everyone should do it there way. I fired one at the behest of one place I worked at that had a PhD in Comp Sci and I took his job and fixed all of his code. His problem was exactly the same as yours. He said "it's easy... all they have to do is X" We were dealing with nurses, and doctors. They did it many different ways and it really didn't matter one bit what that programmer's opinion was on this. It mattered how the users used the software and what their perception was. Many pissed off nurses in boardrooms tend to trump a programmers opinion. Likewise, your opinion on what is easy and how everyone should intuitively know how to do these things WILL and IS being trumped by the fact we have a fairly technical user base and they are bumping into issues with this.
