   I would like to edit the statement for the reply/comment intro.
   "Your email address will not be published. Required fields are marked*"

   Where can I find it?

   It depends on your theme.

   Check comments.php & functions.php to start.

   If you don't see it there, let us know what theme you're using and we'll take it from there.

   You need to hook into the comment_form() function that is outputting the comment reply form.

   Specifically, you need to pass the comment_notes_before argument to the argument array, e.g.:
   

   <?php
   $new_defaults = array (
        'comment_notes_before' => '<p class="comment-notes">' . __( 'YOUR TEXT HERE.' ) . '</p>'
   );
   comment_form( $new_defaults );
   ?>

   Just change YOUR TEXT HERE to whatever you want to display.

   Nice solution - thanks, Chip. In case the OP isn't familiar with doing this, just to confirm, she would add this to the functions.php theme file, right?

   No; that code replaces the call to comments_form(), in the comments.php template file.

   Ah - gotcha, thanks for clarifying.
