Well, I've deleted them again and we'll see if they stay deleted! It's a new thing LJ has done, of automatically adding hashtags as tags -- and it seems not to have occurred to them that some people just want to have numbers or use the # sign for other reasons. I'm not a fan of the change!

(Just as a minor thing, the entry should only be tagged for the orange path and not the purple path -- each entry is tagged for the path that the prompt comes from, whether or not it's the path the participant is currently following.)
