Maryann,
I hope you have noticed the other thread. Steve C's post there is informative, and others have posted some responses that bear on your questions here. I am for an all-out approach: (1) use the tags in the headings the way Steve C suggests, (2) make the workshop forums accessible only to registered members, and (3) prune more often.
