Despite your apparent irritation at this being brought up again, I was grateful the last time it was brought up, because I didn't get it when I read the instructions.

The instructions as currently written do a great job of explaining the best way to do it, but they don't explain well why it is useful to make a new custom column for tags rather than use the perfectly good one that already exists.

And personally, tags are completely useless for collections.
I assume by that you mean that the pre-existing tag column is useless because it becomes polluted with what publishers think things should be tagged with, rather than what you want your shelves to be. Not that a tag formatted custom column is useless, which is what I think you don't mean to imply.
