Repetition makes Perfect, not redundant
Authored by: gabester on Mar 28, '06 09:48:21AM

I think it's important to note that, while your way of doing things might work for you very well - i.e. using the available GUI to perform most of the functions of this hint and following other hints that accomplished similar things, it certainly doesn't hurt to have hints that are a bit repetitive come out:
1. They accomplish something new.
2. They refresh the reader about something they read some time ago and might have wanted to try but never got around to doing.

Personally I don't have the time try out even a small fraction of the panoply of hints available here; and often I find very useful nuggets that do bypass the GUI to accomplish great things that I otherwise would not have known about. It's good to have more ways of doing things so that you can choose the way that works best for you; and it's good to have some repetition in hints so that good ideas of yesteryear aren't lost. Rob, maybe you should start a "Today's best hints in history" and include the top viewed/commented/utilitarian hints of years past as a sidebar link every day.
