It looks fine, but an issue I see is that Joe Public may not understand your technically accurate phrasing. Joe may think "But I don't want to upload a file from my PC. All I want to do is paste this screen shot into a reply". But if you say "copy and paste an image", he's probably going to know what that means. Another question is "What if I change my mind after I unsubscribe and I want see those notifications again"?
My question for you is,where did you get your information for what you just wrote?

Rhetorical question: where is the option to copy-and-paste?
If Joe Blow wants to insert an image, he sees Insert > Insert Image/Video/File..."Hey, no option to upload?"
Joe posts the question and you point him to your procedures. Joe Blow can learn the "shortcut" to copy-and-paste later in life.
It doesn't matter if someone changes their mind. You're teaching them to tell time...not to build a clock. Believe me...nobody wants irrelevant notifications; however, if they do, they can ask in the Forum. What's the purpose of your checklist? To accomplish 1 task. It's not a Venn Diagram for the fickle.
Where did I find this info? I pointed, clicked, documented...pointed, clicked, document. Unless I'm missing the point of your question.

I think you pointed and clicked at the original post above.
More than anything else, the issue I have is with your timing. Where were you when ekhawaii and I were posting and emailing for two months? You didn’t even disclose that you can’t copy and paste images or “upload a file from my PC” until after the solution had been identified. I always welcome your input, but I spent considerably more than 7 minutes of my time researching, testing and writing up those procedures. When you wait until everything has been done and then insert your own personal preferences as your own work, that’s just annoying. On top of all that, you are consistently snarky with me. It's getting kind of old. I don't want a confrontational relationship, but I deserve to be treated better than that.
