| Nov 18, 2015 at 9:30 | comment | added | Fabby | What you're talking about is an existing answer and improving answers is what this site is all about: I agree. Taking someone else's grunt work and converting it to an answer is something else... When I see it, I leave a note to the comment's OP and if he doesn't care, and the answer is good, I'll upvote. If the OP posts an answer, I'll leave that comment above and upvote 1 and downvote the other... | |

Downvote? As mentioned, I wouldn't. Probably even edit it if it needs additional information or improvement. The subject might be overvalued however. In 567 answers, I only remember a few occasions that it happened. | |
| Nov 18, 2015 at 8:43 | comment | added | Jacob Vlijm | Not sure if you are referring to my 70+ words comment(s), but grab the hot mess that is in comments and bothers to make something answerable and peer-reviewable and making the claim that taking that information and made it better is stealing are obviously not the situations I am referring to. No doubt that is very usefull. | |
