user157: I've recently created the tag personal-practice and did a bit of retagging.
Was that a good idea?

user157: Well I guess I thought it was a good idea but i just wanted to open it up a little. The practice I think has become a bit of a dumping ground so I wanted to tidy it up 
a bit
I think there was two concepts in the practice tag. The sort of question like 

Why do monks shave their heads type of question which I think is a general question about Buddhist practice 
And the Hey why do I get pins and needles type question which is about some personal experience that the OP wants us to dig into.

So I split of another tag personal-practice which covers the second concept. I wanted to capture the more subjective nature of these questions. Also I'm aware that some people might not like this kind of question and I separate tag would enable them to screen it.
I guess one could see this as a meta tag like beginner but honestly I see personal-practice as been an identifier for the content of the tag.
Just what I think though.
