Q:

Finding replies to my comments on deleted questions

I am guessing this has already been asked somewhere, but there are 2400 results when I search for the words in my title, so I am asking it anyway.
I was helping somebody and they made one final comment on my answer, then deleted their question (not how SO should work, I know!). I am not sure if my answer solved their question so they were embarrassed and erased all traces, or if they just gave up on it, or what. Since I can only see the first part of their comment in my inbox, I don't know what they said!
Any way to find their whole comment to see if their question was resolved? Thanks.

A:

Is there any way? Yes. Ask a mod.
Moderators can search for deleted posts, and can see the comments on the deleted posts. As an answerer, you aren't able to see the question itself (or the comments on it or its answers) unless you're 10k.
It might be nice to allow answerers to view the deleted question without 10k rep, but it could probably be abused. Tangentially related: Show all of my question/answers to me even if they are deleted
