If the answer the comments are attached to is deleted (as in the mentioned case) without another "accepted" answer present yet, these comments might hold valuable information about specifics of the question or clues on how to avoid having to go through the same process again if a new answer is posted. | |

| Mar 21, 2012 at 23:26 | comment | added | FriendFX | I usually comment on answers because I feel that the answer doesn't address the problem or because the answer is incomplete or incorrect (as is the case here). Of course, when I do that, it is someone else's answer I attach the comment to and therefore I have no way of controlling when it's deleted. Also, just because I say "this answer isn't complete/correct because..." doesn't mean that I have the answer yet (if that was the case, you're right, I should create another answer) and instead can lead to further discussion. | |
