If that truly baffled you, you wouldn’t have replied to me.
The purpose of conversation is to reveal facts previously unknown. If I'm baffled by it, you should absolutely expect me to reply.
If I told you you were being boring, you should wonder why I would bother to reply, or if I'm being dishonest in an effort to be hurtful.
Yet you take the time to reply. This always baffles me.
