But why not have everyone do this? Why have special support for categorizing forum messages directly at all, for anyone, then? What's the whole point? That's just a workaround for incomplete functionality, not a real solution.

(I admit that coming up with a real solution is not trivial.)

I don't know...I just like to come up with quick workarounds. I haven't fully wrapped my head around the post categorization. But Jeremy's idea about a limited, structured way to tag posts with categories makes sense to me. It's really metadata, and it makes sense to allow the community to edit that, as opposed to editing the actual post.
