I've been tagged

[Harald Kapp]

Today's alert:

chopnhack tagged you in a post in the thread Differences between LTSpice and Real circuit and why?.

refers to this thread: https://www.electronicspoint.com/th...and-real-circuit-and-why.274313/#post-1654023 but I haven't posted anything in that thread. How then can I be tagged within this thread? Some bug in the forum software and the tagging took place in another thread?

No, it's just like me saying:

"Let's annoy @davenn"

 

[davenn]

LOL yup

Harald, he tagged you in the hope that it would get you to visit the thread and pass on some of your awesome knowledge

 

[Harald Kapp]

O.K., so tagging works a bit different from what I used to think until now. Thanks for the explanation.

Yep, you can be tagged anywhere - usually when someone thinks you'd find something helpful or thinks you may be able to help.

I like to use tags for attribution of good advice, but if the advice wasn't provided in the current thread I try to provide a link to the original thread so everyone can go read all about it.

Oh, sorry Harald, didn't mean to annoy you! I just wanted to draw your attention to the thread since you had provided similar assistance in the past. Thank you for your previous contributions!

It's only annoying if you use it inappropriately.
