I hear you but I can show you a thread at the Node Cult where somebody we didn't know came in, asked some questions, showed confusion, and when I started to explain as if this person knew nothing, he complained that the postings were overly didactic, and that some of the stuff was insulting, as if I thought he was a newb.
I run into this more often than I'd like, so I tend to be sensitive to it. I err on the side of assuming you know more, because when I assume the reader knows less, quite often the reader gets pissed at me.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
