Hey than3, I think IggleSniggle's comment[1] about "not reading what they wrote" was replying to Shadonototra's comment[2], not yours. So "they" is you; IggleSniggle is questioning whether Shadonototra read your comment.

Ahh thanks, it had looked like a reply to me and not the other guy.

Indirect pronouns can be troublesome. Dangerous at both ends and crafty in the middle.
