 * Although I have the “Your comment is awaiting moderation” option enabled, I find
   that some visitors are still double-posting their comments, so I’d like to try
   making that notification more prominent.
 * I can do something with CSS in comments.php. Something like this does the job
   nicely:
 * <p style=”text-align:center; color:white; background-color:maroon;”>**<?php _e(‘
   Thank you.
   Your comment is awaiting moderation. ‘, ‘thesis’); ?>
   </p>
 * however I believe that customization would be lost during an upgrade.
 * Is there a “right” way to do this, so it survives version upgrades?
