Thanks for your input, Stefan. I've added a check that will only allow registered users to be notified when someone replies to their comments. We also discussed email confirmation checks on IRC, and I will look into that tomorrow, as well as probably start a new thread on the ML for future suggestions to the comments system. We can enable/disable these features at any point in the future, if it becomes a hassle or any such thing. With regards, Daniel.
