You don't directly. YA is not a chat room or Facebook. YA is for Q&A, not conversation. You have two options:

1. E-mail or IM the user through their profile, if they allow communication.

2. Wait until you pick the BA and add comments for each user. Probably only the Best Answerer will see it since they only get a notification.

The ONLY exception is that you can add additional details to your question (little pencil icon on question toolbar) for clarification of the question. Do not call users by name doing this or it will be deemed chat.

You can not. This isn't a discussion forum where there can be a continuous thread to the original post/question. If you could reply to answers, there would be a "Reply" button/link with each answer. The Edit option is for the sole purpose of adding informatin to clarify your question. Using it to respond to individual answers received is a violation, thus putting what might be a perfectly good question at risk of being reported and deleted.

If you feel the need to contact someone who anbswers, click on their avatar to get to their Y!A profile to see if they all9ow email. If they do, and you also have your Y!A preferences set to allow email, you can contact them that way. Please keep in mind that when emailing in this manner through Yahoo! Answers, at no time is any email address revealed, either that of the sender of when receiving mail from other users using this method.
