I've seen a handful of "how do we use triggers" questions in IRC, and they weren't unreasonable questions, but seemed like a lot of pain, and more than one of those people ultimately came back and said they used some other mechanism (and of course, some of them silently disappear, so we have no idea if it worked or not). If anyone's actively using triggers, please don't keep it a secret. Knowing that they're being used would be a great way to justify continuing to maintain them. - Jeff
