Yes, he can post anywhere he wants, but it's a question of where it's most
relevant, and where he'll get the best help.
If people post to a mailing list without really taking the time to
determine what's the most appropriate place to ask a question, the
signal-to-noise ratio would be unmanageable. This is a question regarding
a specific compiler, where a specific option has been changed from the
default (and recommended) value. You could have a problem with any
external library in this case, so it's not a Xerces-specific problem.
There's enough traffic on this mailing list as it is, without the added
overhead of postings which are off-topic. I don't think I ever said his
question was "dumb", or that he shouldn't ask it.

Why should he? He has an application that requires 1 byte packing on
structures. When he changed the byte packing, Xerces-C++ was giving him
grief. He was asking for help with Xerces-C++ and not his Visual C++
code. Even though the solution was Visual C++ specific he still has the
right to post it here.
To quote one of my old professors:
"The only dumb question is the one not asked..."
