My response :   This forum is constructed in the way that i  CAN  NOT  identify from whom I got the message/(the  "comment").

Therefore,  when I get the comment from the visitor in this way,  I simply  DON'T  KNOW  to whom to answer.

If you really want to get the response from me to your message/"comment",
then place the problem's ID number to your message/comment.

It is the only way to support a  two-sides/(two-ways)  dialog.
