I wasn't going to get involved in this discussion, but since it may produce something useful I'll add my Yes 
vote to the idea of having a TECH tag, being about things technical, engineering or scientific that may be of 
interest to denizens of this place (Solar Power, Walking Tractors, that sort of thing) but which are not 
specifically PIC or EE.  It would be limited to facts about things and discussions thereof, not discussions of 
the opinions about those subjects (nothing even faintly religious / philosophical / opinion-based, like the 
social implications of a walking tractor on poor chainsaw operators, no evolution or scientific method or 
whatever).

The problem I see with having WOT is that the line between it and OT would be difficult even to define, let 
alone decide when considering posting, so there would be endless discussions of whether a post was correctly 
tagged, to the detriment of actual-content posts.  Perhaps there should be a ban on discussions of tagging 
except by the moderators?  It's their show, so maybe they should have the only, not just the last, say?
