to write or not to write an article

An article about sensible data (using MFC), would it be interesting to someone?... or about CRichEditCtrl (also using MFC), might it be useful?
Write the articles. Even if it's not relevant to what I'm doing on a day to day basis, I do enjoy a well written article and will read it.

Do write the article, like Pete has mentioned. It may not be useful for my day-to-day programming purposes, but sounds like something I would find worth reading and other members of this site may find it useful, too. :)

Definately write the article. There will almost always be someone else who is running in to (or will run in to) a problem the article will help to solve.

I agree that articles should be written, even if they perhaps cover old ground, or state the obvious to many, or are duplicates of others. What I feel is missing from the site, is the ability to rate an article on its uniqueness, usefulness and relevance. I'm seeing far too many articles written these days which simply re-tell old stories, and often not very well. They appear to attract swarms who vote 5 across the board and risk muddying the ability to search for genuinely good, useful articles.
