Apologies for answering only to you, it was my full intention to answer
the list. Honestly :-)
I do agree that 'A - Tree/Tracking Label' is confusing, but also because
of the abbreviation of Answer and Question.
Like I said, I prefer to make this 'Answer - Tree/Tracking label' or
even better 'Answer label'
What would be interesting to know is, if you can go back to the people
who asked and were confused, and explained the functionality: how would
they like it to be called?
