Call me a trad.ition.alist ...

Yes, do. My cynical nature is kicking in here (although that could be due to the fact it's past 10pm). I don't see the point in tags and bookmarks if there is no uniformity between them! In my previous life, I was used to dealing with data that couldn't be worked with if there was no commonality between terms used. It made life incredibly difficult to go back and change the data in order to perform any kind of analysis or useful research. So from that perspective I found del.icio.us to be just another place for people to expose their life for all to see. I don't want to perve into other people's filing cabinets!
