Can an impersonified person also respond to blog comments?

We allow other people impersonify other users to create blogs. Is it possible to have responses done to those blogs by the impersonified person as opposed to a person, who has been given permission to imperonsify the user.

Example: Jim has permission to impersonify VP Bob for blog posts.

Blog post goes out and we want replies to comments to come from VP Bob, instead of being shown to come from Jim.

In summary, we want impersonification to work for the blog post as well as for blog responses.

    By "impersonify", are you referring to the ability to set the author of a blog post in the Options when writing the post?

    If so, there is a separate feature known as Impersonation that could be utilized to post comments as that user. This does require the ghost commenter to have both the Impersonate User site permission and Manage Membership permission. These permissions could be granted to a special role that the ghost commenter is assigned to - but it will allow that person to have access to more member-related administration privileges than just impersonation, potentially more than desired. So make sure that you trust this user. (Usually this feature would be used in more of a security/debugging/testing context, but it does allow actions like commenting.)
