Tag your response?

Tagging is a way of organizing discussions according to content. When a mylotter who opened a discussion types tags, he's creating links from his discussion to other discussions of the same content. But what about the responder? Doesn't his thoughts about the content matters? There are instances that other relevant topics are discussed in a discussion not primarily asked. That's why the responder is asked to type tags, in order to update the links, or the summary of its content. At first, I usually just skip tagging. But later on, I realized that my response is somehow related to another topic. I guess I'm just trying to help the one who opened the discussion, and also the community, by giving more links to the discussion, so it will have a bigger chance of being found when searched.

I have made it a habit, to tag every post I start or came replying to. I do believe that it adds something to the discussion itself, as they categorize and put our posts to their proper interests section. Though I don't get paid by doing it, I just follow these simple parameters to at least HELP other members here..

Well, it does annoy me at first, until I found out that you could actually skip it. I for one thinks that tagging a discussion should only be done by whoever creates the discussion, not someone who comments on the discussion.

I usually set the same tag as the discussion builder. Cause i think that what i response is the same tag as the topic .In my opinion,it is not necessary for us to set another tag to the discussion .

At first it also annoys me, especially it's just a short sentence response I make. Later I realize that I use tags to find discussion topics. So make it a habit to tag longer posts.
