The one thing the anti-taggers on the ML seem to miss is that some of
us subscribe to five or more MLs on a dozen different subjects and the
automatic collection of threads in a single ML into a coherent cluster
via a simple and quick subject sort can never be overestimated in
usefullness.

In most mailer's field cropping, its the rear end that gets hacked off
anyway, mind you, so placing tags at the end, aside from flaunting
tradition and removing the usefullness of a quick alphabetic sorting,
won't help with subject crop anyway.
