Resolved questions: I just discovered that you can comment on resolved questions?

Am I the last one to know?

Do you do this?

Do you read comments on resolved questions?

Update:

To Sassy25: I think your information is wrong. Please clarify. I read the guidelines re. comments. related to commenting after question is resolved.

    I have on a few.

    One guy comment negatively about me getting best answer. I saw the comment and replied to it which started a little debate for a few comment sessions.

    BRB with it if I can find it quickly.

    I did know about this, but I usually don't comment unless I missed being able to answer the question and I felt I had something important to add. I have only commented once though.

    Occasionally I will read resolved questions and answers if it was interesting to me.

    Yes, you can always go back to the question even after it's been resolved and add a comment in the 'comment box'.

    Am I the last one to know?

    From some of the answers on here, seems not

    Do you do this?

    No, what are the chances of them being read by the asker or others who could benefit?

    I wish Y!A could start notifying the asker "You have a new comment on your resolved question".

    Wait- I've done it when the asker gives me BA and then leaves a snide comment, so I go like "10 (or whatever) points for me- YAY!!!")

    Do you read comments on resolved questions?

    When I see them, yes.

    Yeah I do do this.

    I have commented to thank the person for choosing my answer as best. Or congratulated them on choosing an answer better than my own.

    I have commented as a second comment after the question was resolved. Urging the Asker to re ask the question and leave it up longer.

    I've commented AFTER the answer was chosen to say, oh I would have said..... da da da... as my answer.

    Sure I read them. :)

    Yeah not that many people know about it but it is a less used option I only found out last spring about it when I visited on old question and somebody posted a comment. But yeah one of the less used things around here.
