Is this...a summary? The wording is so close to the article in parts that I'm not sure.

This is a summary -- I'm the article author and the author of that comment, so I would hope my wording is consistent. :)

Oh, missed the username. Normally when people post a comment like that they prepend it with something like "Author here, just wanted to add X/Y/Z"

I think there's supposed to be some kind of green highlight for comments by the poster but that's missing as well.

Mea culpa.

Green highlight is for new users.

Oh. They should add a highlight for comments written by the poster as well. Or some kind of [poster] tag, not sure. Would be useful in these cases.

Fair point!
