I occassionally re-read my articles as well and revise parts of them as I see fit. It's nice that some of my more technical posts have comments where users have questions. Based on their feedback, I also revise parts of my post to make it more relevant.

But, wouldn't that make the comment irrelevant?
A new reader, who does not know that you edited your article, might think the commenter is stupid and ignorant for reiterating what has clearly been addressed in the original post.

Ahh yes. I reply to the comment to thank the person for her feedback and that I have revised my blog post accordingly. I usually put what section I specifically revised
