Curious as to what this 'tag' symbol means ?

#1, The symbol in ?, same location as the paper clip (I know what the clip means)

#2, Enlargement of said symbol.

#3, What the symbol says when I hover over it.

It seems the symbole represents a tag. If you look at the bottom of the page the thread is on you will see the word "tags" with ahat the symbol said next to it. If you then click on this it takes you to a thread that includes that phrase.
That being said, I guess I don't get it either. I checked the FAQ's, but did not understand the correlation between that subject and what i am seeing.

Tags are simply keywords that indicate what content a page has on it.

For example, if a thread has discussions about a Kubota BX2660, Kubota and BX2660 would be tags.

Tags are basically intended to help with finding content. For example, with the search feature you can search tags, which in theory would give you the most relevant threads, and perhaps some threads that you didn't expect to have content about the topic you're searching for.

We're testing the feature right now and deciding if we're going to keep it.

Why did that 'tag' symbol show up just on that thread ?
