I've noticed that the constant-commenters -- those who don't start blogs of their own -- tend to "turn over" every couple of years, so there are always newbies needing guidance.

I hadn't yet found the sniffing advice. <br />Samples do procreate -- when I started a spreadsheet recently I was astonished to find how many samples were already in my possession, especially some pre-reformulation goodies. I didn't remember having more than a few.
