No, but the post I replied to, and apparently you felt the urge to reply to my comment. But I now understand that you did not intend to contribute to the discussion, thanks for the clarification!
I didn’t realize you were daniel-cussen - but it looks like you’re merely overwhelmed by how a forum works. That’s fine, but maybe dial down the smugness.
If you want to understand this thread, I suggest you start at the start.
Hint 1: I gave you the name of the person I answered to.
Hint 2: No matter how often you repeat it, it wasn't you.
Hint 3: Maybe it helps if you draw a flow chart of the different statements in the conversation!
But, see, don't worry. Because you jumped into a conversation between the post I replied to and myself, I assumed you had to add something to that conversation. I realize that I was mistaken and you just swooped in to offload some unrelated fun fact. My bad, won't happen again!
What can I say. Maybe drawing that flow chart really would be helpful for you. It's a valuable skill, being able to follow a thread or a conversation, and trying to understand the back and forth between statements and arguments may come in handy some other time.

The comment you replied to was mine though…

Then click parent. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Smugness indeed.
One day you'll understand how a thread works! Don't give up hope!
I’m guessing you didn’t click like I suggested.
That's true, I hope you're not waiting anymore.

Yes, there was a higher level comment from someone else. But it wasn’t the one you replied to.
