 * My question is how do I close comments, but still be able to display the ones
   written before I closed them for my readers? Thank you.

 * Thank you for the reply, but when I do, they disappear and I get the “comments
   closed” text, but no comments.

 * That sounds like there’s an issue in your current theme. Try switching to the
   TwentyTen theme to confirm that it’s theme-specific problem.

 * Thank you for the help, and yes it was a problem with my custom comment function
   I wrote to over-ride the default. I forgot to print the comment entries after
   I querried for them before ending the if/else statement, lol.
