| Sep 28, 2013 at 20:07 | comment | added | Jamal | @noloader: The problem is that comments are considered temporary (deletion is permanent), while answers are not (can always be un-deleted). There's also no comment-to-answer conversion system in place, so the commenter will still have to write an answer manually. | |
