As a general principle, this is an appropriate place to explain things.  
If anyone sees anything that suggests that there is either confusion or 
misunderstanding, it is much better to provide background context than 
to assume that ignorance is benign. 

At the moment, for example, I am struggling with the merge of national 
language set handling in the engine and dsql.  The actual handling is no 
sweat, but the Byzantine interdependence of the nasty mutually exclusive 
warrens of include file is driving me beserk.  I am aware that everyone 
on this list is a particular expert on how to define header files, but 
the urge to write out a long lecture on how proper headers are written 
is almost overwelming.  But when I am overcome, I don't want to hear any 
whinning about "oh, I already knew that."  If people knew that, it 
wouldn't be the mess it was in this morning.

So lighten up and don't complain when somebody explains something.  
Learning doesn't hurt all that much.
