Well, I think it is good troubleshooting.

The first problem your associate is going to have is, you will
mis-state or mis-translate the problem. Then, the next problem your
associate is going to have is, you will mis-state or mis-translate the
answer you got from the list. All you are doing is muddying the waters
and complicating the process.

The first thing I would do is get you out of the equation, and deal
directly with the mailing list for the problems at hand.

But suit yourself. I don't have a dog in this fight.
