Understood... and I'm not even sure MM2 has the ability to have per user
subject tags.

I know there are lots of improvements for the upcoming MM3 (where all
dev focus is now thankfully) taht should address all of the moderator
issues you describe above, so I'll go ask about whether ot not per user
subject tags will be possible...

Even if they aren't, I'd recommend planning to migrate the lists to MM3
once it is released anyway, because it is going to be awesome... :)

Ok, so I'll make one more effort - how about using extremely short tags
for the lists (I'm talking about just changing the subject tags, not the
list names)?

E.g., this one could just be [tdfd]...

If not, no worries, I'll just live with it...
