in thread Best practice or cargo cult?

With /s & /m, despite that when I read the documentation their function and purpose is very clear to me, I always have to think hard about which is required to enable what, when I'm in the process actually writing regexes. It's simply easier to enable both and not get distracted from my purpose, than constantly decide which is appropriate, or is no longer appropriate, as I try out different possibilities of achieving my goal.
