Never said you weren't separate entities. What I implied was that you were responding in a similiar manner.
I would also suggest your opening statement is not entirely factual. There is very clear evidence the when the teeny little emperor starts sipping from the Fountain of Drewth and embarks on one of his numerous river cruises his postings evoke a response, often numerous responses on your part. So what he does has a bearing on what you do. Which is usually his sole purpose.
