I would also like the author be it he or she, to make a further comment on mine, plus a follow up, of why they wrote it.
The way we've asked the authors to respond when replying to a comment made on one of their submissions is to use the site's popup feature which allows the dialogue with the commenter to continue indefinitely. The popup archive (Msgs) allows such an exchange to be easily followed.
There are a lot of authors (myself included) who will almost invariably respond this way to comments. Dialogue is most definitely encouraged! Obviously some of the deceased authors and those not active on the site will be a little less timely in their replies.
