Actually, your point appeared to be that you'd respond to a
previously-unknown correspondent who wrote _about something you'd 
previously written_  (and I quote):

You yourself have identified the criteria 'they read some other comment
I wrote', not just "they wrote something interesting". I observe
that the former criteria qualifies as a variant of "...who they know".

FWIW.
