Not at all, as they're typically obsolete quickly, unlikely useful other than
for solving an OP's particular issues dependent on his unique hardware
configuration, looking for one or two short strings typically hard to
describe so that the help requester could ID and provide them within concise
context to prospective helpers.

When I'm doing the mailing list Googling, I skip those with long pastes or
attachments, trying to make my search time more effective by limiting
attention to those written with concision.

When stuff like full logs or grub.conf rather than snippits are attached to
or pasted in an email, I'm more likely to ignore them than work with them.
Typically, line wrapping done on an email sent makes a mess of things.
They're much more manageable in browser windows than email windows, and
separately from reply composition. And in this thread, the OP kept starting
his posts as if I were the only one he was writing to, so with no one else
continuing to try to help him, opportune time to make a request more likely
to enable me to do a better, or any, job helping further.
