The text it self wasn't that large. So i don't think this is wrong.
Plus I that leaving it would give someone else a better change at
understanding the question.

There is a document (about these specific mailing lists) that suggest
to put it at the bottom. (I'll continue doing so.) I feel it would be
better to simply place them at the bottom.

The same document suggest not to put these kind of mail on the list.

There are a lot of detailed questions with simple answers. I don't see
way this couldn't apply to this one. I waited a couple of days (just
as a other writing suggested) for someone to come up with a better
answer. Since no one did I gave my thoughts.

Nobody is perfect. This include you and me! I feel that you make to
much fuss out of this.
