Who really looks at the tags on messages?

I, for one, wish myLot would rip the tags off the discussions. I cannot count the times I have written a reply, checked it for spelling, maybe even edited a portion of it, and then proudly click "submit". I use tabbed browsing and I never turn my PC off, so I can understand entirely how this is all my fault. Many times; in fact most times after clicking on "submit", I will switch to another tab and go do some PTC sites, or read the world news, or play a favorite online game, or read my e-mail. These things, I now understand, should never be done without the permission of myLot, because every time I do them and come back hours later, or even the next day, I am greeted by that irritating page with a message asking me to add a tag to this message or skip the process. So much time has passed that I generally cancel my message entirely and once again feel that I have been cheated out of a penny and another golden opportunity to voice my opinion on matters of meager social value. Most of the titles, and the first visible lines of the message generally give a person some idea of what the discussion is going to be about, so why should every person who submits a reply be subjected to the agony of deciding whether to tag, what to put in the tag, or skip the process altogether. This is actually the only message board I have used which allows tags by those who reply to a message, and only a few have tags at all which are used by the originator of the message only. So I suppose that in the scheme of all things, tags are just irritating. Tags on underwear irritate your back, tags on shirts irritate your neck, and tags in myLot just irritate.
