    A tag is just a keyword associated with a post.

    In online computer systems terminology, a tag is a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an Internet bookmark, digital image, or computer file). This kind of metadata helps describe an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching. Tags are generally chosen informally and personally by the item's creator or by its viewer, depending on the system.
    That's what Kim said...but with fewer words

    I think you're the only person who can see me. It must be because we're on the same hill. ;o)

    But you're right . . . not many people posting by 9:00 pm Pacific time.
    Yes, I've met meebo in the stupid corner just as she's getting up and I'm going to bed. lol

    We're on mountain daylight here.

    Yes OP
    I would have thought that the UK has more posters on here than the USA.
    But i do think the USA is catching up !

    There are a few Australians on here.
    But I think i am the only New Zealander.

    It would be good if we had a few French people from France,(we do have some UK ex pats)
    And some from Germany etc etc etc (but not German soccer players)

    Admin did warn about this a short time ago.

    However, admin now appears to be 'correcting' titles prior to submission to Google Products(GP). They also seem to be doing a very poor job of it by turning all but the initial capital letter to lower case. This means the likes of names and proper nouns are being corrupted.

    An example from one of your items:

    On eBid: MADHUR JAFFREY'S INDIAN COOKERY PB

    On GP: Madhur jaffrey's indian cookery pb

    Clearly Jaffrey and Indian should start with a capital but eBid has removed it.
