 * One of my readers posted non-valid html in his comment, so I decided to edit 
   it – only to find out that _something’s_ broken.
 * When I choose the comment to edit I get the ‘edit comment’ page no problem. When
   I’m finished and press the ‘edit comment’ button, it goes into post.php, puts
   the comment’s text into the post field… as if I was using that text to make a
   post. The comment remains unchanged.
 * What’s going on with that? I don’t think I’ve done anything to my site that could
   have broken the admin pages…….
