The way I see it, hack writers want their hacks to be used. Therefore, it behooves them to put the effort into their posts about their hack so that people who are interested in that kind of hack can find it. It's sort of the same as optimizing our web sites for Google.
Of course, if 36 people a day don't post asking where to find or requesting somebody to write existing hacks, that would probably save Xenon's and Erwin's sanity as well.
