[wp-forums] Posts, code & codebins

[Michael B]

Well, gee-wizz bang code may be enlightening to one, common place to 
another. Therefore, they may not think it neccessary to post on their site. 
Granted, if it seems like it's really helpful, then it could be added to the 
codex. But as we see all the time, new users don't always know where to 
look.
Doesn't mean a link to paste bin wouldn't be useful in some cases.
