Yes, I did ask you to ask the Q at help.osm.org -- but I also realized that it's a bit tedious process and will most probably result in many back and forths even if such process would be accepted in general (that someone who thinks this is a good thread would need to ask the original person who asked the question to post it to help.osm..).
I'd think that it would make most sense that Someone would simply pick up the Q "ask" it at at help.osm.org and then "answer" it with the core points from the thread. ... That just doesn't result in an attribution nor a thread in a way that the "organic" asking/answering of questions at help.osm does... I think the only issues here are the odd(?) setup of one asking and answering + perhaps to some the loss of attribution (to user accounts; attribution is easy to write-in, of course). So, I was really asking for thoughts on *how *to manage this process of documenting good question+answer pairs into help.osm.org...
