links to macosxhints data

Good suggestion! Which reminds me ...

In general it would be great if hint posters had a Mac OS X Hints "dropbox" for storing certain scripts, code fragments, patches, etc. for linkable reference/download instead of (or in addition to) it being part of the main hint text.

For example, while reading this hint last night I thought about how much shorter the first post would have been if parts of it (e.g. the code patches) were links to that content instead of inline text. And it would be trivial to download, without the copy/paste errors people often have.

There's really no additional site storage requirement since the data's already here... it would just be more convenient to access.
