I caught a fish! Yep, I did! On my first cast!

What does this have to do with people, you might ask? Well, I'll tell you. The fish I caught was a myLot fish. I placed the bait and danged if I didn't catch one on the first bite. That's not to say my discussion had no value or was a hoax, because I meant everything I said in it. But, I worded the subject header in a way just to see if anyone would ONLY read the subject and nothing else at all. Well, I've only had one response and, sure enough, the person didn't have a single clue about the actual topic of the discussion. They only responded to the literal meaning of the subject, which should have been a big clue, because it's not a subject one places under the myLot interest area. I was disappointed because, not only was it the first (and so far only) responder who didn't read one word of the discussion, but the person has over 1000 participation points! Did they get all of them by not participating? I mean, reading is part of participation, isn't it? Shouldn't you actually read the discussion in order to contribute a meaningful response? And, I can't say the problem is because of a language barrier because what they talked about and what I talked about were two entirely different topics, even though the same word applies to both. They simply read the subject and responded without finding out just what I wanted to know. So...here are my questions, if you get this far. How should I respond to this person? Should I simply say, "Thank you for responding" and be done with it? Should I point out to them that they need to read the discussions once in a while before they respond? And how should I phrase it if I do? Or should I be more cryptic and just comment, "Say what?" Should I rate them "neg" or not at all? Give me your opinions, please. I'm way curious to know what's best on this one.
