It's not necessary to start a new thread, just give a short summary. 
I'm offline most of the time, though. So at the time I read your mail, I
usually don't have net access.

That depends. If you think you are doing something wrong, asking on a
user list is probably the best start. If you are somewhat sure that
there's a bug, file a bug with reportbug. There's no black and white
here, but lots of shades of grey.

Now, please file a bug against Atlas using reportbug (which includes
some helpful information for the atlas maintainer by default).
