When reading Wirt's message I realized that I haven't "seen" any tag lines
on 3000-L messages in quite some time.  If you had asked me about it, I
would probably have said that the tag lines must have been switched off,
since I didn't recall seeing them lately.

But then I looked down at the end of the message, and like magic there it
was!

My brain has apparently been editing out the tagline text as being unworthy
to present to any conscious part of my mind.

I'm not sure if this argues for or against the tag lines, but it does
suggest that they are useless beyond the period of time that it takes to
become immune to them.

If they were only added to one out of 20 messages or something like that, it
might make them much more effective.
