Well, I don't know if I am a 'fan' of tagging, but I expect to be doing
a lot of it.  Please explain to me why tagging and genre distinctions
are mutually exclusive interests, since I also expect to divide my
corpus by genres, insofar as possible.  I absolutely do not see any even
slight degree of mutual exclusivity between the two.  Am I missing
something? Do taggers and generic types take swipes at each other for
reasons of personal animosities?  More seriously, I really do not
understand this or the previous similar comment.
