 * Is there a get_comment() function similar to get_post()? The codex is rather 
   bleak with comment info and I can’t find anything in the source code. Maybe I’m
   just missing it?

 * There’s no get_comment.
 * Here’s how WP fetches comments. (File: comment-functions.php; function: comments_template.)
 * ` $comments = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_post_ID
   = '$post->ID' AND ( comment_approved = '1' OR ( comment_author = '$author_db'
   AND comment_author_email = '$email_db' AND comment_approved = '0' ) ) ORDER BY
   comment_date");`

 * Thanks. That’s what I thought I had to do. Just hoping for an easier solution.
