With regard to a keyword list (and arguing in favor of a hierarchichal keyword
list), John Lazarus said the following:

>To have all these
>keywords in a single list would lose the relationships between them, and
>make it very difficult to remember what all the subcategories were.

I agree. The key issue is that it is often tough to remember which keywords I
may have assigned, since many terms are synonymous. This leads to a
proliferation of keywords, since I'll usually try to cover all the bases, but
with varying degrees of success!
