I understand that, and I express more of a wonderment/bemusement than any sort of desire to dictate terms or claim ownership of the thread. I certainly understand that people could answer anything they want, or not reply to me at all. But it does sometimes feel a bit like asking "Could somebody tell me the price of milk in Store X?" and receiving a reply to the effect of "You should be aware that other shops also sell milk." Yes, the person is free to answer this way. But I am also free to express confusion over such an answer : )
