[support] D7 Trouble altering comment form

[Jeff Greenberg]

Ah, right! Thanks. So for the buttons, I really wanted to do:

        $form['actions']['submit'] = t('Post comment');
        unset($form['actions']['preview']);

But what also is revealed is that the title *Add new comment* is not part
of the form. I'd appreciate any idea regarding overriding its value. I
tried using content: xxx in css, but while I can get the new value to
appear doing that, I can't seem to hide the original one without hiding
both.
