Nov 21, 2016 at 0:12 comment added dlu @ZachMierzejewski, seems like it would be nice if we could come up with a proposal for an enhancement that would support new users wrt comments. Maybe something like a message that shows up when a low reputation user posts a question that tells her/him that s/he can post comments in response to comments left on the question as well as to answers.

Nov 20, 2016 at 23:19 comment added dlu So, do you think new users learn the rule by trying to comment on other peoples questions/answers and then assume that it applies to their own? It seems like posting an answer as a comment with the "I can't comment yet" explanation is a pretty common.
