What does:
Maximum hop count exceeded mean?

I realize the answer is in there and the number of results is relatively small. However, many of those results end with people either being told to use the search engine or not being answered and it's only going to get worse with time. Dan said it was an opaque message in the first place. It could stand to be shoved in a reference file somewhere.

(I could have shoved it in RecentlyAnsweredQuestions on Bwicki, but I think that might make people forget about it and shove the placement onto someone else.)

I wasn't slamming you. The answer was easy enough to find with so few search results. I was just recommending that someone put it in a reference file because it won't be so easy as time goes on.

They should organize a team to go through the archive, and hide, or delete thoes. That would be fun, expecially with there being +316,800 posts right now. Could split up teams into 1,000-post sections, skipping over each other as they complete it.

That is a good idea, yes.
