 * How do I remove comments from a post? I have gone into Settings->Discussion and
   tried to delete comments but the post shows a reply edit box. What I want is 
   a post/page with no user entry box.

 * Hi lostbits!
 * Are you asking if you can delete the comments in general or just not display 
   them on the front end? If you don’t want them to show, one way I can think of
   would be dependent on the way the theme is structured. Generally themes will 
   use the template tag `comments_template` to get the comments and comment form.
 * If you are using a child theme, you may be able to override those calls in the
   files that the theme is using.
 * Hope that helps!
