It is possible that you misunderstood me.  After I Label something, I
Archive it so that it no longer exists in my Inbox.  If it is a
message I haven't read, it sits in my Inbox.  This can be considerable
after a few days of not checking the mail.  Since I enjoy much of the
traffic on this ML, I let the messages stay in my Inbox to be read
instead of Auto-archiving them.  Maybe "downside" was the improper
word for me to use because I never intended it to mean that it was a
"problem" at all.  If anything, it just shows that I need to be more
diligent in keeping up with the ML.  Because of the very natural
taxonomy feature of GMail, I still maintain that GMail is much better
than any newsreader.
