As I wrote earlier, I'm somewhat reluctant giving advice out of fear of giving wrong advise.
I think you should just go ahead. When you're unsure of something, say so. Or do what I sometimes do, use it as an opportunity to look something up. That way you remember it better and knowledge is spread. And keep in mind, this is an active list with lots of subscribers. If you say something even a little wrong, someone will probably correct you. And even if they don't, when someone tries it out and it doesn't work, they'll let you know. Live and learn!
... But it started a lenghty discussion on the list, if this advise was appropriate or not. I think it ran to 30+ answers or so :-)
And a wrong advise can really steal your time.
Be straightforward about what you do know and what you don't know and when you're simply uncertain and you've discharged your responsibility to honesty.
