Now that you highlight comment-responses from the user who asked the question, I would like each user to see their own comments highlighted the same style that their own answers are already highlighted.

Why highlight a user's own comments?

• It’s visually consistent. It carries the “highlight” from their own answers to their comments (a user's own answers were always highlighted in another color).
• It makes it easier to scan a post for their own comments because they are highlighted. This is important if they're trying to followup on a post or comment because they can visual see where they have made additional contributions.
• Users can "at a glance" tell if they're dealing with interested (other comments around their comments) or disinterested (no comments at all) to their contributions.

It would helpful for me to follow up on posts if I could easily spot where I have already made contributions so I can followup with changes to the post or any further comments directed at me.
