There isn't. However...

When you make a one sentence comment, and someone quotes that entire comment in a response, that creates an impression in the reader. Namely you said one thing and someone responded to the entirety of what you said.

But when you go back, and retroactively add considerable content to your original comment -- the respondent's original reply now appears to have quoted only a portion of your statement. And that creates a different impression in the reader, namely the reply chose to only address one of your points. That is not true of course, because at the time of your orginal statement, there was only one thing to comment upon.

Again, no rule against it, but it does misrepresent what you said initially, Fortunately the fix is easy, go back and edit your original post to show what was ADDED AFTER other's commented.
Dont feel the need to edit that post I missrepresent nothing besides there is a notice below the post stating it has been edited. If I feel lke editing/adding to my posts so be it. Feel free to edit/add to your reply. It seems you had no problem editing post number 50

Besides look at the time my post was edited. It actually was before your post was entered.
