Caitrin,

I agree. Because I don't consider the terms "BS" necessarily, a derogatory term, I would have no problem using that prefix when starting a non-musical thread. I've found people pretty touchy here sometimes when it comes to what I consider, trivialities-- (except in Praise's case, where a clear designation truly serves a purpose) so you're right--what's the harm in trying to accommodate the people who are bothered by non-musical discussions to warn them off non-musical topics? It's just another way of cooperating within a community. The good of the whole and all that...
