Well, I'm a DD as well and I'm able to pick between different hints.  I
see no point in blaming somebody about say "unusual" hints, specifically
if it is someone who has proven to be very kind and helpful in countless

I admit I never needed to pass P&P or T&S and to some extend I agree
that refreshing this might make sense but I would not base this on
contributions to the mailing list.

I confirm that some packages make me shudder - but that's OT on
this list.

Kind regards
