I said "answer the post"- which means REPLY to the material in the post. I did not say "answer the question". I am sorry if you do not understand the various meanings of the word "answer". An answer can be a mere reply:

an·swer (nsr)
n. Abbr. ans., a., A.

1.
a.A spoken or written reply, as to a question- [as to- but not limited to- a question, since a question is not necessary for an answer- my comment].
b.A correct reply.
2.
a.A solution, as to a problem.
b.A correct solution.
3.An act in retaliation or response: Our only possible answer was to sue.
4.Something markedly similar to another of the same class: cable TV's answer to the commercial networks' sportscasts.
5.Law. A defendant's defense against charges.
