I didn't know what the answers were, so I typed the query into
Google and got sufficient explanation to be content that I knew
enough for myself.  I'm still not an expert, and hence felt
ill-equiped to give a detailed explanation.  Referring the
questioner to an alternative source of information seemed the
best idea.

Any more than apparently being completely ignored?  OK, I won't
bother replying at all, then, unless I feel I'm an expert.

No wonder people might feel that this group simply ignores them.
