I watch people who moderate groups here go through the SAME
  issues, wheels reinvented over and over and I'm just like,
  "look, this road is WELL TRAVELED here", and I give some (of
  what I consider) basic community advice that you'd use on a
  mailing list, Usenet, forums, wherever... ...and they're so
  often like, "Woah, man you really nailed it". I guess it's the
  old' rule; if it's new to you, it must be new to everybody smile
