They help avoid title collisionsThis is precisely the meme I'm trying to kill. When vanity tags were invented, the Monestary was missing a way to uniquely identify a node, and to help sort out the author in the results of a search. And the consensus that I recall at the time was "OK, until these problems are fixed, vanity tags are OK." Both of these problems have now been fixed. We have [id://nnnn], or in brief, [nnnn] to handle the title collisions. And the search results now show authorship. And thus now, it's time to end the vanity tags. Let's stop it. Please. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker
