Isn't this a case of using the wrong t̶o̶o̶l̶ community for the task? 
The mailing list are for discussion. We have help.openstreetmap.org for 
Q&A, and the wiki for documentation. "The ML makes a poor documentation" 
well yes of course it does?

Did someone point you to the tagging ML to answer beginner questions? I 
agree that's not a good suggestion.
