I don't think it matters how experienced the original poster is[*].
Especially when the question is about something relatively basic, I think
it's good to write the explanation in a form that is likely to be
comprehensible to completely new users. In part because it is hard to judge
the level of experience of the original poster, but also because this is a
public mailing list, so the answer is likely to not only be of interest to
the original poster, but to others as well.

I'd rather see they get it sooner ;)
[*] I've been AppleScripting for a few years now, and I know that even though
I may be considered an experienced user, there will always be aspects, even
basic ones, to which I'll be new. "New" is always relative.
