Umm... Isn't this merely the tagging mailing list? I was unaware that sending 
an email to the list was a form of hijacking in any respect. I didn't steal the 
subject line... Maybe I'm missing something. 

I will recheck the wiki re lanes. I thought I had understood the basic options, 
it seems there is more than I realize. 

I will try to undo my incorrect edits.
