i whole heartedly second guy's plea, and would like to suggest ana
additional clause: if your problem was interesting, for reasonable
values of "interesting", write a short note to the list, detailing what
was the problem, and what was the solution.
such posts do wonderful things to the S2N ration on mailing lists, not
to mention providing "a hit" for other people who will STFE in the
future. also, speaking from personal experience, many times i've read a
solution to a problem i've never encountered, (and thought i never will)
only to encouter it in the not too distant future.
