You may likely need to address this with the widget author … have you tried contacting them about this issue?

Here is the page in codex to explain the comments_number function in more details http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comments_number, but essentially all it seems you are asking to do is to change the part in your sample above that reads: ‘No Responses’.

Change the phrase, No Responses, to something you prefer such as: No Responses, yet; or, Please Comment; or, Have your say! etc.

WordPress does not contain any “bulit-in” eCommerce functionality that your screen shot is showing. You will more likely need to contact the plugin developer that created the widget you are using to have these concerns addressed.

The premise behind the use of wp_nav_menu() and its functionality is to allow end-users to create menus exactly how they want them to appear.

This leads to the idea of not using an exclude parameter; why would you exclude something you can simply choose not to add in the first place.

Obviously replacing wp_nav_menu with wp_list_pages is possible as well, it would just take some edits to your theme to do. The proper usage of wp_list_pages can be found in the codex.

Themes that use the wp_nav_menu function properly, such as Twenty Ten, generally do not have use of the exclude parameter associated with other menu creating functions such as wp_list_pages or wp_page_menu.

Have you tried creating a custom menu to match your existing one and simply not use “Disclaimer”?

Excluding pages from the “nav bar” is generally easy but it is also generally theme dependent.

A link to your site and your current theme would be helpful in making suggestions on how to exclude these pages.

The following is only quickly tested … user beware.

I just quickly combined all of the above examples, I would expect it to work but you should make sure to test it thoroughly.

<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
  $user_id = get_current_user_id();

  $querystr = "
    SELECT comment_ID, comment_post_ID, post_title, comment_content
    FROM $wpdb->comments, $wpdb->posts
    WHERE user_id = $user_id
    AND comment_post_id = ID
    AND comment_approved = 1
    ORDER BY comment_ID DESC
    ";

  $comments_array = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT);

  if ($comments_array):
  ?>
    <h2>Recent Comments </h2>
    <ul>
      <?php foreach ($comments_array as $comment):
        setup_postdata($comment);
        echo "<li><a href='". get_bloginfo('url') ."/?p=".$comment->comment_post_ID."'>Comment on ". $comment->post_title. "</a><br />". $comment->comment_content . "</li>";
      endforeach; ?>
    </ul>
<?php endif;
} else {
  echo "Please login to view your recent comments.";
}
?>

PS: There may be a lot of code clean-up involved as WP_DEBUG set to ‘true’ throws quite a few “Notices” that should be addressed.

The content that is “crammed together” appears to be wrapped in <p> tags which is then being styled at line 168 in your style.css file by this:

#content p {
  line-height:10px;
  margin:0;
  padding:0 0 15px;
}

Increasing the ‘line-height’ property to around 15px should improve the layout. The other text is wrapped in <div> tags and not affected by the same property in your theme.
