I vote for banning submissions that start with a number... there's 3 "list" style posts on the front page right now.

Do you want to ban all collections of related information, or just articles that tell you how many items there are in the title?

This is silly, not only essays are useful.

No, but the article on creating your own POP 3 client looks interesting, at the least. I instapapered it.

It's funny actually, this is something I learned from grade school! One of my elementary school teachers made this rule in class to write out numbers from [one to ten] and then use numbers to represent everything greater than ten [11, 12, ...]. Helped remove a lot of confusion then as to when is it OK to use numbers vs. writing-them-out!

The AP style book says the same thing.
