What he said.  I guess.

There are lots of entities offering us handy hints and suggestions.  I 
used to like reading these decades ago, especially the ones involving 
tools and repairs.  I haven't seen any good ones for a long time, and 
everything now seems to be aimed at the truly subnormal.

I have to believe that these 'suggestions' are somehow profitable to the 
senders.  I find this frightening.
