Appropriate to expand on something in Thank You Email?

Hi Monkeys,

Quick question. I know thank you emails after interviewing should be short and concise. But I totally failed to expand on an aspect of my past work experience that's entirely relevant to this position.

Is is appropriate to include 2-3 additional sentences expanding on a point that I missed in the interview?

Thank guys.

No.

OreosNo.

Care to expand? I'm not trying to correct a question I screwed up or anything. I'm just highlighting a couple things that I forgot to mention in my interview.

Would this still be in poor taste?

 

It looks desperate and needy. The interviewer has already made his mind up about you, this revelation will not sway you from a no to a yes, but it may make him question an initial yes.
