Our previous hints volunteer has been promoted, or some such cowardly 
excuse, and his ability to produce hint files has vanished in a puff of 
higher salary.

He's mailing me what he has, but there are some left to do. (I'll know 
how many when the email arrives.) This means I need *yet another* 
volunteer. 

What needs to be written are *small* hint files (not complete give-away 
hints for every puzzle, just "Have you tried?" lines, one line per 
puzzle or situation.) Partial example below. It doesn't take long to 
write one of these, but I'd like a whole bunch written in about two or 
three weeks, so it *is* a substantial amount of work.

I'd rather not farm the work out *too* much, because that runs into
problems with consistency of approach. One person doing it all would be
ideal, but probably too much to hope for. 

(If you've emailed me before offering labor, by all means do it again. I 
am electing to post this rather than trawl through my mail archive one 
volunteer at a time; it's faster and reaches the same people anyway. 
Please don't feel snubbed.)

And, again, don't feel snubbed when I say this, but... I'd prefer people 
who can write clear grammatical English. And spell. Please?
