"Email for a hint": Good Idea or Bad?

[RuffRidr]

........ I think your brother-in-law is the current champion of those abstract hints.

Well it is the Golfnutz/Demonicangel School of useless cache hints

Hahah, how about Golfnutz's clue on Pioneer House Micro:

Neil expected to win many awards for this one, but did not. “Larry” did very little to console him.

I still don't get that one even after I had it explained to me.

Here would be a few One size fits all sort of hints that few could argue with:
"Look in the last place first"
"finding the log book should help alot"
Or loosely written in a language like Norwegian or Gaelic to add a little salt in the ......:
"plassert hvor De ser lest"

Seriously though. Attempting helpful but non-spoiler hints for my next cache has made me much more appreciative of those who are good at it.
