You are, but that doesn't mean you are unwelcome.  As far as I know this is
a public list and the issue isn't exactly a personal one that I know of.

As I detail below you've actually touched on an area of developership I am
rather naive about.

I did not know this.

This was a no brainer when the code is original.  When you start with
someone else's code, it got fuzzy for me and I didn't see a problem with
poking him for advice first, especially since the changes I made didn't
seem to have anything to do with the problem I encountered.

Believe it or not I actually appreciate this kind of advice.  Collaboration
with other coders is not really something I have a lot of experience with.
