I guess it depends on how much work you need to do to respond to the alert.
If each alert requires a similar set of instructions it seems like a waste
of code to rewrite it in each method.  For example in one application I need
to call an NSOpenPanel from 4 different places in the same object to get 4
different file names.  I use one openPanelDidEnd method and pass the pointer
to the string which gets the name as the contextInfo.  I can then put the
file name into the proper NSString or in this case I check which object
pointer the context info equals and then I can set the string and update the
user defaults with two lines of code for each file.  If the methods were
longer then I agree, I would pass the selector for the method and have the
panelDidEnd function pass off control to the appropriate method.
