What about [GEN] for general interest? Like stuff on modern 
equipment, or fascinating things like that that some list members may 
find interesting but aren't a game system component or rule or don't 
seem to fit in the other tags?

Must admit I prefer the longer [OFFICIAL] that Jon T was using 
earlier. And frankly, its nice enough to here from Jon or Mike that 
I'm happy if they don't use tags too.... (grin) .... but for us other 
profligate offenders - tags seem like a good idea.

Why not [GZGCAT] or even just [CAT] - and couldn't Nic use this too?
 
and the [B5] tag should cover B5/EFSB etc. since there is a big 
enough interested user community but they tend to read stuff that 
fits both descriptions.
