Why do you need a tag? You only use tags when you have a regular grouping of topics. If you want to find a specific thread, just search for it. This is likely the first hit of a thread with "birthday" in the title, for example. I think we've moved from tagging topics to trying to use tags as shortcut links to individual topics instead of using the systems already in place for them. I've seen some pretty dubious tags showing up recently that suggest this.

Example:

You're own picture shows it as the fourth thread in search.

Most of us know how useless search is around here. I generally skip it and go directly to tags.
Wait a minute. You've been preaching tags for a while.. and now you're anti-tag. geez.

Don't confuse me preaching "proper use of tags" with me saying "use tags for everything". I'm still preaching the same thing "proper use of tags."
Search is awful, but does work just fine for things like this. Tags are not a search replacement. If we tagged every birthday topic with birthday, tags would be far less useful than the search functionality.
