    Well, I don't know if I am a 'fan' of tagging, but I expect to be doing
    a lot of it. Please explain to me why tagging and genre distinctions
    are mutually exclusive interests, since I also expect to divide my
    corpus by genres, insofar as possible. I absolutely do not see any even
    slight degree of mutual exclusivity between the two. Am I missing
    something? Do taggers and generic types take swipes at each other for
    reasons of personal animosities? More seriously, I really do not
    understand this or the previous similar comment.
