No I do not think so it will never work;)
As one can be wrong however -especially meself - the idea to better label
our posts is not a bad one.
Maybe one could create and use very simple labels that become second nature
like ANN. The only way to achieve this is to use it.
Maybe tomorrow I will label my posts with [IDEA] or [PBM] maybe some will
follow, probably not. I would not seek any further in practice right now.
And it would not be common to this ML but to ML in general.
Nice idea though.

Cheers
Robert

That's bad.


I agree, see above
