One of the ways we keep the quality of Stack Exchange up is by aggressively (compared to many other discussion boards / forums) moderating content to keep it within our guidelines. …

To me, the fact you need four bullet points to describe the structure of your answer pretty much determines that the question is too broad: the best answers probably have four bullet points in them in …

I don't see anything particularly wrong with it, but don't stress over occasional down votes. They're not the most important thing in the world.
