"Hey, is this a drop by shifter/lever or something else?" That's how you help someone.
I did and it didn't mention anything about a road bike so why assume that or have a need to ask questions when the info is right there. From looking over the comments people were trying to help. I don't feel like anyone is making the OP feel stupid, they were just explaining the differences in text which has no emotion and people like to add it which leads us to this.
You want to help people your way go for it nobody is stopping you and you generally give some great info but no need to attack people over the way they are doing it.
