I'm in agreeance about the need for a more universal form of tagging. It is actually one of the first things I was looking for when I first got to the site. Since the current process is completely subjective, I don't even bother using tags to follow content. So for me, bI'm already ignoring tags - just not in the sense that you guys are asking for. I believe it was said in a previous post, but the ignoring of tags would be worthless until a stable process for tagging was adopted.

In an effort to illustrate further what I'm talking about in regard to the terminals, I'll share with you this candid ditty. Everyday I hear my customer's frustrations. Everyday I also am frustrated with the process of explaining to them the simple process of waiting for the total, agreeing to the amount, and swiping their card....would you believe that even after instructing customers countless times a day how to use them. If I'm making a purchase through them, I will often swipe first and then wait for a total even though I know how to use them.

My company isn't as much pompous as it is cheap. The OS that we use was written in the 80's. It infuriates me that they haven't upgraded it or many of the other processes that would be very cost beneficial to fix. But, I'm low on the totem...
