Hello Guy,

Smart thinking! I'll go along with using four tags.

In thinking about this further, I've concluded that using
this four-tag system may be easier to implement than
expecting the VideoLan.org folks to set up four distinct
mailing lists for us.

Having said that, I think that the best way to see if this
four-tag system will actually work, and if everyone will
actually respect the system by including the tags in their
subject lines, is by voluntarily implementing it ourselves.
Thus, I have already begun to use the tags, and hope that
everyone else here will do so as well.

The success of this four-tag system will depend entirely on
everyone demonstrating courtesy and consideration for other
user's time. If the list moderators have any objections,
please speak now, or forever hold your peace.   :)

This is a test. This is only a test. Do not attempt to adjust
your...

Thanks folks!
