Thank you all for your responses. They led me to a founded criteria on posting behavior, one about which i was quite unsure before.

I like people who doesn't consider the basic to be trivial.

Should one embrace the policy of each time one gets a question answered or a problem solved on the list, make a self answering post on Stack Overflow to render it readably available to others and also as a practical display of gratitude? If the question gets closed it won't be matter (or just a little)

Best,
Laura

One can guess the right manner is the same manner you will use in real
life: if you get help from a problem, you just say thank you.

In the other hand, if you find yourself the answer to your problem, it
is useful to write an answer to your problem on the mailing list: the
problem you met was or will be a problem for other, so it is a nice,
simple and effective way to contribute.
