In that respect, collections are a lot more flexible than folders.
You are certainly technically correct, Harry. I knew as I was posting it that someone would correct me, but I was trying to answer the intent of the OP. What I wanted to make clear was that there is no sense of hierarchal structure, but I probably should have added additional detail that they are tags.
