I can ignore most tags since they are usually formatted to follow the
senders name and separated by a line or two. It is tough on me to avoid the
vitriol since it appears to be part of the body of the message. I think tag
lines should be after the senders name and with a blank line between the
senders name and the tagline. It is considered good netiquette. I am all
for freedom of expression, but I would rather read his messages and ignore
the politics.
Thanks!
