No, no.  Please don't leave anything out.  Like you said, a long, thought out post is helpful to someone new that comes across it (read: me).  I can't fathom why someone would create a thread and ask a question they're unsure of and then get defensive when someone else tries to help.  I'm sure even old-timers in the NBBA, let alone people in Div IV, still have a lot to learn in the game.  And as the old saying goes, the only stupid question is the one not asked.
