Ah... the classic fallacy. It's impossible for NOBODY to look at my answer. Even if nobody else does, then at least -I- have interacted with my reply to your question. Sometimes what I learn about myself from answering is more important to me than what someone else might learn from reading!

The question is not whether I replied, but whether the reply exists.
And according to philosopher George Berkeley, something can only exist if it is perceived. If no one else perceives my reply, it might be argued that it does not truly exist. However, also according to Berkeley, God is continually and eternally perceiving EVERYTHING, therefore, my reply does, in fact, exist.

A reply isn't defined by being received, so yes.
