You should think about the effect your mails have. This is much more 
important than formal definitions of "quality", "usability" or 
"cross-posting". Sending the same mail to four mailing lists is 
annoying to the readers of the mailing lists, because people subscribed 
to several of these lists get the same mail multiple times and people 
subscribed to only some of the mailing lists might miss the context  
and parts of the discussion.

With your mail you should have sticked to the original mailing list or 
if you would have had a patch implementing your proposal you could have 
posted this to the developer mailing list.

The quality team mailing list is about getting people involved in KDE 
not about discussing specific implementation details of certain 
applications.
