In a comment, I asked for something which was clearly in the OPs message. Should I delete my comment(s)? math.stackexchange.com/questions/1102127/…

I suppose you mean this comment.
How does $D(i,j)$ behave on objects other than $i=i_0$ and $i=i_1$? — Thorsten 3 hours ago
@Thorsten I don't think that there is a need for this. Additionally, if you delete your comment, the OPs response will be left without context. (Other people seeing the comment would not know what the comment is responding to.)
Your comment might help other users which have the same problem as you have. (I personally would prefer to leave it. If it is the comment I linked to at all.)
But it's you're comment and you are the one to decide what to do with it. But if you decide to delete it, I think that it is useful to wait some time whether the OP deletes comment reacting to yours. If not, you should flag it as obsolete. One of the moderators will see your flag, they will see that it is a comment reacting to a deleted comment and remove the flagged comment, too. But occasionally it might happen that such flags are declined.
See here for some example of declined obsolete flags.
One more thing - this room has very low traffic and not many people visit it. You would have better chance to get an answer in the main chat room:

I mentioned your problem in the main chat room to get it better visibility:

If some mod will be around, they can respond to this, in case I have omitted something important on give an incorrect advice there.
So if somebody thinks they can add more to this, maybe they come here.
You might check whether there was some response in the other chat room.

@Thorsten To add a bit to @MartinSleziak's take, if you feel that the information in Rachmaninoff's is important to keep around (i.e., that your question is likely to be asked by others who read the question), feel free to edit it into the question. This would make all the comments obsolete. (Comments aren't meant to stay around forever, and all pertinent information should be included in the post itself.)
Otherwise, sure, delete your comments and flag Rachmaninoff's as obsolete.

@MartinSleziak: Okey, thanks. Yes that's the comment I meant. @ArthurFischer: Actually there is all relevant information perfectly defined in Rachmaninoff's question, I just made a mistake while reading/thinking.
I think I'll leave it to avoid confusing the OP.

No problem. As I wrote - your comment, your call.
