Anything that helps keep the blood letting and scrapes to a minimum has to be a good thing. I'll have to mark this thread to keep it as a reference.

I think it's a good Idea! Especially since the “Tech Tips” section seems to be forgotten or not known about.

It's definitely a great idea.I have helped create such stickys on other forums in the past.
It can be done a couple of ways either by posting up a bunch of new threads created for the sticky or by searching through the archives and finding the best write-ups and posting the links with a the title of the write-up.
