Are we running out of threads? :-) Threads are cheap and this came to my attention more strongly this way than if it had just been a comment. Every piece of prose posted here is, in some way, a response to something. I'm not sure it's "ego-stroking," strictly speaking. What's wrong with giving the author recognition?

(me = author) FWIW, I can totally understand how it could come across as ego stroking. In this particular case I wasn't trying to, but I have been guilty of it in my life. As for recognition, trust me - give it a week and no one will remember my article ever existed. I honestly just wanted to answer ian0's question thoughtfully, and made the best call I could think of.
