For myself, I'd prefer to answer the posted question, and include a
comment in the answer about multi-posting, netiquette, and the group
guidelines. If constructive criticism of that sort is given *along
with* an answer to the posted question, it's more likely to be taken
seriously. If it's given on its own, the receiver is (IMO) more likely
to dismiss the sender as a crank and ignore the advice.
