Tags! Tags?

[Andy M.]

I've been noticing recently that there are weird tags on posts. When you create a thread and enter some tags that seems to be OK. However, there are a lot of threads that also have unrelated two letter tags in addition to the ones that are logical.

Click on TODAY'S POSTS and scroll down the list. You'll see what I mean.

Yeah. I see that. Like the "ca" tagged onto the granola thread. And the "wi" added to the legit tags on the potato salad thread. An oddity. A harmless oddity, I guess.

 

[Andy M.]

Yes, harmless. Points to a software issue.

Kind of odd that all the two letter tags are also state abbreviations.
Why ca, ny, wi, mo? Why not zb, rt, by, aa?
Coincidence? I think not.

Aren't you clever to notice that!

Personally, I like the tags listed as "other" and "food". Very helpful.

Salt and Pepper's post http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f18/panko-and-parm-asparagus-89935.html has a "pa" in the tags and he is in Montana...not Pennsylvania...

Hmmmm, what could the 'PA' stand for? "PAnko and PArm AsPAragus"

Will have to watch it...

I don't understand Pac's tags. I wonder what categories they might be used. Is Ca for California or Canada or Canberra?

It's not at all clear they actually are state (or other location) abbreviations.

From Kayelle's Shrimp and Asparagus thread

asparagus, lemon, mo, nuts, pa, pasta, recipe, shrimp, walnuts, wi

 

[Steve Kroll]

Not to worry. It's probably just the NSA keeping tabs on all of our locations - just to monitor for terroristic food threats.

Hmmm...alphabetical order and they take you to a list of posts that contain any word with that combo of letters in it.

Bizarre Tags that seem to be added at random to the tag list.
