 * Using Twentyeleven theme I am unable to control comments. ALL my pages have comment
   spaces appearing, but my posts do not. This is the opposite of what I need.
    
   Where can I control this? I’ve searched all over and read the forums, but am 
   still baffled.

 * Edit each of your Pages and Untick Allow comments in the Discussion Pane. You
   may have to do the reverse on each of your Posts. If you do not see the Discussion
   pane initially, click Screen Options and tick the Discussions checkbox.

 * Got it! Thanks – it’s well hidden 😉
    For the posts, do I need to do click on
   Allow Comments for each post? Or is there a blanket permission somewhere that
   I didn’t find yet?

 * You do need to check the global discussion settings in Settings -> Discussion
   but any change you make now may only affect new posts. You may to change existing
   Posts one-by-one.
