At some point, everybody gets pointed at this document:

You'll probably find it a little bit offensive, so just ignore the
somewhat caustic tone and take the advice inside to heart.
In particular, rather than using the English formulation that you think
best describes your problem, try to describe your problem in terms of
precise and accurate machine-level data, be it source code, generated
code, test cases, input, actual output, expected output, or command line
transcripts. Reproducibility and attention to tedious detail are key.
Practice generating a command-line transcript that illustrates your
problem with a bare minimum of supporting comments.

In many cases, answering your own questions is a sign that perhaps not
hitting send until the next day would have been the best approach.
Often in the process of writing out emails to explain a problem one
arrives at an answer independently; this is normal.
Cheers,
Chris
