I care to get good, if not the best,  tags. I try to get ideas for these 
from the tagging group. I don't care for arguments on a proposal that 
are not directly relevant to that proposal.

I don't want a "random way" .. thank you for the derogatory comment.

You really don't care for the tagging group much, do you?

The way I search for a relevant tag is to use the wiki, not taginfo. I 
suspect many mappers do the same. Using a tag that is not on the wiki 
will probably mean it is not rendered.. thus I may have wasted my 
effort. By waving the flag for this possibly new tag, the tag gets 
improved by thoughtfull comments, advertised, and hopefully approved.
