Not exactly; I just don't have anything useful to add to that topic.

Actually, I think it's useful period. I first read it years ago; but
still today, when I post things, I often do so while looking at that
document, trying to see how I can make life easier on my readers.

Of course not. It'd likely be of value, sure; but so would a lot of other
things, and everybody's really busy, and that's bound to be comparatively
low on anybody's priority list. If I start making lots and lots and
lots of suggestions to other people about things that they should go and
do -- no matter how good my ideas are -- it's going to get really
annoying.
