In my opinion the only interesting advice comes from people that "been there, done that". I don't need to read any self-help crap from people that tell you how something is done without actually having done it. Sometimes they are right and their tips are valuable, but more often than not they are just writing about trivial things or nonsense. I don't like people that worship say "pg" and take his words as holy truths. But when pg says something I'm more likely to listen to him than to an unknown person, because he has a track record. A nick-name (and the authentication behind it) is the only credibility indicator for me. Therefore I'm certainly not installing this extension. Sometimes something will sound like good information, but that doesn't mean it is good information. At least a high-karma nickname means the person posting it is putting his hn-reputation on the table. Now that may not be much, but it's as good as it gets.
