Yes, that is exactly the question. It takes time to write things up nicely. I mean, once someone has pointed out to you that this has been discussed before, you could just go, look it up (or search for it), and then put it into a Wiki or blog post yourself, or sum it up and send it to the mailing list as a reply. Why rely on others to do it for you?
