I was obviously under a misapprehension here as I understood threads to be something one necessarily added to or took part in and did not take over as an individual. From my limited experience of the Cat I had certainly not observed the use of your 'tradition' but as you have suggested that I was out of order, I will take great care in not borrowing any of your characters in future and could only ask your humble forgiveness for straying into what you feel is some sacred area.
Presumably your invitation... (so, then what happened....?) is a throwing open of your 'individual' space to anyone who wishes to partake of your rendering....I find that somewhat interesting.
May all your posts echo your sentiments.
Best wishes, Mike.
