Yes, you did.  Repeatedly.  On this and other threads, you've made the 
statement at least three times that per-query hints are the only way to go 
for 8.3.   Your insistence on this view has been so strident that if I 
didn't know you better, I would assume some kind of hidden agenda.

Stop harping on the "per-query hints are the true way and the only way", or 
prepare to have people start simply ignoring you.
