Perhaps using "I suggest" instead of asking "why not" would have clued me; English is not my native language, and I take questions as literally asking something. Normally, the answer to "why not do XYZ" is "because nobody has the time to do that", but too many people asking this specific question still haven't learned this, so I feel obliged to provide the obvious answer rather than ignoring the poster. This is in turn because I heard too many times "I posted this years ago, but nobody listened". In some cases, posters genuinely don't know that nobody else will work on it and that they need to become active if they want to see things happen. So telling them has the small chance that we get more contributions out of it than mere suggestions; this is well worth the time spent to tell people like you what they already knew.
