Did you see any evidence that the majority of the replies you got were
making any such assumption? Naturally the replied *came* from the
kind of people who frequent this usenet group, but do you really think
they are all devoid of a clue in regard to the behaviour of their end
users?

Welcome to Usenet.
In the oft-quoted words of "nobull":
"Get real! This is a discussion group, not a helpdesk. You post
something, we discuss its implications. If the discussion happens to
answer a question you've asked, that's incidental."
Usenet was ever so (at any rate as long as I've known it). If I
decided to censor my own answers to accord with the prejudices of each
questioner, it wouldn't make the slightest difference to the big
picture, because there would still be an ample supply of commentators
willing to give the questioner *their* best advice anyway. The only
result would be that I'd lose any credibility that I had managed to
earn in the groups.
Some folks thrive in this no-holds-barred environment. Others just
get frustrated when the group insists on discussing the restrictions
that they're trying to impose - more or less ignoring the question
that they were trying to ask. Which is where you seem to be
positioned at the moment.
I've made my choice - feel free to make yours.
good luck, regardless
