If it's clearer for you and the people you work with, go ahead and use it. Maintainability and clear communication trump just about any other concern.

I personally don't care for it because I'm used to context. It's effectively a no-op, and, if I don't have to worry about the maintainability burden to someone who doesn't have a firm grip on context (and I usually don't), I prefer to leave out unnecessary code.

You'll probably find yourself using it less and less often as you continue learning.

    That makes sense, thanks a lot!

    I'd prefer to send a message like this privately, but I don't think I can do that. If there's a way of sending PMs here, someone please send me one and let me know!! :)

    Update: to send someone a private message, just type /msg username message in the chatter box and hit "talk".
