Can't Answer Questions in Best Answer Asker's Comment?

Sometimes an Asker will ask an additional question re my answer in their comment after giving me Best Answer. I used to use the Comment option to leave them an answer but now Comment will open but I can't type in it. If the Asker doesn't allow email, is there any way I can answer their additional question(s)?

    That is an annoying part of the new format, you can't comment on your own answers. If there are other answers to the question, then you can comment on those, or switch to the Canada site, where you can still comment on your own answer.

    Another way would be to answer another one of that asker's questions (if any)... and add your answer there.. That is risky as it may violate the Q&A format, so be sure to answer their initial question, but I think any good reporter would let it go if it is a good-faith attempt to help the asker further.
