<p>♦ moderators have the ability to convert answers into comments. I'm a moderator on a few other sites in the network, and Not An Answer flags are the primary way the community notifies me of these situations.</p>
<p>Of course, using the Not An Answer flag will also send the it into the Low Quality Posts review queue, and the reviewers there may delete it before it can be turned into a comment. If you're worried about this, it's fine to add the comment to the question yourself (with attribution) and leave a comment under the answer like the one provided by the <a href="https://stackapps.com/q/2116/34061">AutoReviewComments userscript</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This is really a comment, not an answer. With a bit more rep, <a href="/privileges/comment">you will be able to post comments</a>. For the moment I've added the comment for you, and I'm flagging this post for deletion.</p>
