[support] closing comments

[Larry Garfield]

I find that the Akismet module is fairly good about keeping spam out of public 
viewing.  It doesn't require any captcha or other check, but relies on 
distributed back-end heuristics and is free for non-commercial use.  (The 
module is GPL, the service has a fee for commercial use.)  Highly 
recommended.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
