   Hello,
   I develop sites upon WordPress and I always wonder why there's no way to cleanly disable the "comments" feature.

   In most of my installations (100% I'd say) comments are disabled (that is, enabled to registered users and user registration disabled), or the like.

   In the themes I always find something like

   <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments &raquo;', '1 Comment &raquo;', '% Comments &raquo;'); ?>

   Which turns out to be useless in my case and which I always have to disable by hand (and eventually re-enable later).

   wouldn't it be useful a function, say are_comments_enabled() which determines if comments are enabled and, if not, just avoids the useless comments stuff?

   example: (please note: this function doesn't actually exist!)

   <?php if (commens_are_enabled()) comments_popup_link('No Comments &raquo;', '1 Comment &raquo;', '% Comments &raquo;'); ?>

   This way, themes would look much more clean and ready to use.

   Peace to all

   Cris
