 * I tried finding this all over google, but since author description is not a part
   of comments table, it prob needs some relational sql call.
 * Can anyone shed some light? All I want to do is display the_author_description
   inside comments loop.
 * Thanks guys.

 * Something like this should work.
 *     ```
       if ( $comment->user_id ) {
       $user = get_userdata($comment->user_id);
       echo $user->description;
       }
       ```
