Feature request: Exclude tags

[rtpHarry]

I would like to make a feature request to allow the exclusion of tags.

I have been blogging away for about 7 months now with the view of one
day starting a full site putting the articles into a section of their
own.

To this end I have tagged all my articles with some very generic tags
such as "asp.net" (most of my post are asp.net related) and also I
have tagged every article as "article" (to allow me to easily filter
unique content from observations).

Obviously when I installed this widget it correctly worked out which
are my truly related articles because they share more than one tag but
it also fills the list out with many unrelated articles.

So from the outside looking in this sounds like a pretty
straightforward feature but I know things aren't always that simple
from behind the scenes - is this something that you could fit into the
current architecture?

@rtpHarry, you may not know I had done refactoring once, and the
efficiency had almost doubled.

When I designed BRPS, I made it serve as one way I want, simple and
easy and quick, which is currently how it works, therefore the only
easy way to add new feature is to rewrite from scratch. Yes, you can
add into current codebase, but you will only make it worse, because
you would be touching very fundamental stuff.

It's not a good coding method for others, but it's for me because I
want it to be simplest.

But as I said in my previous post, if anyone wants to join me to
rewrite, I would like to do it as a team. I am not totally rejecting,
it's just I have to work with someone.

So, I won't add your feature unless someone wants to code with me.
