Ah, alright. I read "response to" as implying that it was going to introduce some new angle. I'd have used some other term, maybe "related to" or "follow-up to". Though "follow-up" implies you wrote the original posts, so that's not great either.

Yeah, I've been wondering if there are standardized meanings for those terms we should be using. There are some I'm working on where I call the previous articles "related to", but mine might be better classified as a follow-up. Perhaps "unofficial follow-up" in case you didn't write the previous?
