To put it bluntly, ./'s tagging sucks. It alows anyone to tag anything with any name/title/etc they want. Now, people's political views or whatever can influence an article with just a click of the mouse. It is a bad idea in its current state.

The 10.4.6 update for Mac OS X has been released. This is a big update (~140 MB for PPC and ~192 MB for Intel) and fixes many problems. A smaller (~65 MB for PPC or ~163 MB for Intel) 10.4.5 to 10.4.6 update file is also available on the Downloads page. Just run Software Update on your Mac and tell it to install or you can download the update file manually if you have a computer that is not connected to the Internet.

"Your sig...use "L'essentiel", an e is used in french. Also, instead of saying "pour les yeux" (for the eyes), use "au regard"(to sight), or "a l'oeil nu"(to the naked eye)."

Interesting tag:
