I respectfully disagree. I thought the questioner showed exceptional initiative in properly explaining their question.
When someone's asking for help, not enough information means gurus waste valuable time in the following ways:
(1) Explaining things the questioner already knows
(2) Answering the wrong question because it wasn't phrased clearly enough
(3) Jumping to the wrong conclusion because key details were omitted
(4) Being unable to reach a conclusion and having to ask for more information because key details were omitted
OTOH if you're too verbose, the worst that can happen is that the guru answering your question has to use his/her scroll wheel to skim to the most important parts.
