The point is that tags on mailing lists should be added by the user,  
not by the mail server.  Nothing to do with cross-list interactions.

If there's an outcry of support for the [Adium-devl] tag on the list,  
I'm okay with letter majority rule. I don't care much either way and  
don't have the time or energy to waste on silliness.  If you care at  
all either way, please email me *off list* with your opinion. This  
list exists for those subscribed to it, and that's who will make the  
decision.  I'll post on Wednesday evening with what we'll do with  
subject tagging, simple majority wins, and that's that. I can use  
easily procmail to add or remove parts of the subject header if I want  
to... so whatever the list wants, it doesn't impact me personally, so  
I have no investment in how the vote goes.
