Speaking of which, this is a strange tip to see from the owner of a site which has "If you find macosxhints.com useful, please consider subscribing. No banner ads, very few press releases, just hundreds of OS X hints -- all for $10 a year!" on the left side, since VersionTracker offers the same thing.

Maybe I should submit a "defeating OSXHints ads" tip?

That would sure be an interesting tip to see, considering that macosxhints has no ads to begin with. Rob provides a service and only asks that you contribute to the ongoing operating expense if you happen to find the site useful. He does not coerce you into paying by hiding the "good" stuff, or beating you over the head with advertisements. This site is pure content whether you pay or not, which is what is being advertised in the tag "No banner ads, very few press releases, just hundreds of OS X hints". Only your conscience and a desire to assist with operating expenses (i.e. prevent the site from disappearing due to financial considerations) dictate your decision to contribute here.
