Oh, that's easy:
1. List subscribers will have read earlier suggestions and are 
intelligent enough to ignore later ones if they prefer.
2. Different methods are appropriate in different circumstances - and 
subscribers other than the original questioner may find them helpful 
to their different needs.
3. It's important that questionable statements made on a public list 
read by many (and indeed archived) are challenged.
