You can just leave it to the mods to deal with it if you want. It's not that bad to have informative threads popping up in the regular forum as, I believe, many people do not regularly scan the old stickies. This topic is very popular here and PC probably won't explode with one more thread

Given that you like to analyze things in depth and do research, maybe one thing you can do in the future, to avoid doing work that has already been done and shared, is to scan those sticky threads on the top and see if similar ones already exist. It is inevitable that a forum like this gets a bit repetitive over time, people experience and bring up many of the same issues and suggestions. But there are always new members who look for that info for the first time.
