 * The following message has suddenly begun to appear along with the comments on
   my blog.
 * WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual
   that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near‘
   select comment_author_email from wp_comments where comment_ID =]
    select count(*)
   as comments from wp_comments where comment_author_email = (select comment_author_email
   from wp_comments where comment_ID = 94)
 * Can anyone please tell me how to correct the problem?

 * Is it remotely possible that your MySQL database was down-graded? That looks 
   like a problem with an older version of MySQL (4.x?) that didn’t support sub-
   SELECTs.
