Thread Name: BS threads not labelled BS
Subject: RE: BS threads not labelled BS
Well, I added "BS" to two of the threads on Jim's list, and removed it from all four that had the tag erroneously. The "blue link" thread properly has a "tech" tag. The vocab thing has an impact on music, so I left it alone - there are many non-music topics that have to do with folklore and culture, things that are very important to musicians. I don't want to exclude any information that might be of use to music research, so I prefer to add on the side of including some non-music stuff that has musical value.

I see no need for us editors to work too hard on this. As long as most of the BS threads are tagged correctly, it won't be the end of the world if a music researcher sees a few non-music threads.

I crosslinked all the bouzouki threads - you'll be amazed how many there are. I was going to make one crosslink group for percussion, but I had to make a separate group for bodhrans.

And no, this thread doesn't get a BS tag - this falls under the category of general housekeeping, not chit-chat/BS
