This has been proposed before some months ago and we all thought that it 
made sense. However, I am not in favour of shorter tags for the simple 
reason that the mailing lists are open to all members and new members. 
This will only add another layer of complexity for members, who, let's 
not forget, English is often times not their first language.

I would favour short descriptive tags that are still readable by members 
without having to search through our files for their meaning. If we keep 
it simple, then we make it possible for interested members to jump in 
and help right away.

Cheers

Marc
