...you could simply answer with short and clear answer about dedupe
if you
know anything, or simply
ignore the question ... so your behavior is really odd.

I was reading the following on the net regarding dedupe, can I have
your opinion about the dedupe?
You may note that you get a somewhat sparse, even frosty, response
from this list. I'll let you know why I, in particular, don't choose
to respond to most of your queries.
You ask questions in a sufficiently vague manner that the appropriate
answer is a long explanatory discourse. But you don't appear to
welcome pointers to the authoritative discourse: the docs. This is
fairly normal "newbie" behavior; nothing odd.
But your web presence indicates you feel yourself to be enough of a
TSM pro to put it on your CV. From someone of that competence level,
the right questions are phrased something like:
Hi, I'm doing X, with Y sorts of machines, and I encountered Z. Is
this what you expect, how are you-all doing this, etc..
The interesting social-group distinction is that, in one
communication
you are:
+ offering some advice and feedback to those more newbie than you.
This is important: you're giving before you're asking.
+ going out on a limb a bit, to show you have faith in your past
opinions, while offering them for correction
+ displaying enough context that those contemplating a reply know how
to phrase their answer.
The terse, broad requests feel more like 'will you do my homework for
me?', but I'm a known curmudgeon. So, whatever.
