ADMIN: Subject Tags

I think it is time to remind everyone to use Subject Tags as described in the Welcome message (and replicated below), and also to remind you to change subject lines when a discussion wanders off the initial thread.

Subject Tags

Please use the tags as they are given; do not invent variations.
If the practice loses its consistency, it will also lose much of
its usefulness. I know this is a long listing, but that is a
reflection of the breadth and variety of our discussions. Don't
be intimidated; they will become quickly familiar after a short
time. Try to use the tag that fits your message best. It is often
appropriate to combine a tag from the first set (types of irises)
with one from another set. If nothing fits, don't worry. Pick the best you can.
