They were probably joking when they asked that question.

Your reply doesn't seem sarcastic, so I take it you genuinely r/whoosh'ed (that's a reference to a subreddit about situations where someone is acting clueless).

Realistically, I don't think HN is the place for those kinds of jokes, which are best kept for reddit/twitter.
