<tip type="Share your code without posting a big honkin' message to 
everyone on thelist" author="Max Schwanekamp">
When you have a problem or just want a second set of eyeballs, and you 
cannot give a direct URL where fellow evolters might view your source 
code, rather than posting a "representative sample" just post the whole 
thing using thelist.pastebin.com.  Pastebin takes code, applies syntax 
highlighting for a wide variety of languages, and creates a shortcut URL 
to it.  Post the URL to thelist, and those who are interested can go 
view your code on pastebin, and make suggested changes right there.  
Then you can go back and use the built-in diff tool to see all those 
changes.
