Hi,

I missed the begining of this discussion but I had questions about
comments too.

So, the routine described below will enable comments (I haven't actaully
set mine up for comments yet). How does the moderating work? It looks
like the comments go to a place in MT (the Comments area), is that
right?  Are they already posted at that point or would I do something to
release/publish them or delete them if they are spam? Are there spam
blocking settings?

Can someone explain the Typekey thing in a bit more detail. This means
people would have to register to send a comment? Can anyone register or
is it somehow restricted to UVM?
