I'm so embarrassed! <sigh>
No, the file doesn't seem to exist anywhere. However, that doesn't
meant that the comment space is broken. Visit
http://guzdial.cc.gatech.edu:8080/comment.fred The comment tool
works fine -- WITHOUT the template.

Sure -- both sound reasonable (include, or just auto-fetch from a server).

Why? Is template formatting that slow?

The Squeak networking code is aging? I thought JMM just updated a
whole bunch of stuff?
Hmm -- I hadn't even given it a thought yet. It's certainly a
possibility. I'll bounce it off the rest of the Squeakers. I'm not
immediately yelling "Yes! Yes! Yes!" simply because our (my and my
sense of the rest of the GaTech Squeakers) goals are pretty different
than what I've seen of Camp Smalltalk so far. Issues of modular
Squeak and more commercially viable Squeak are interesting and
important, just not up our alley. Right now, I'm much more
concerned-with/interested-in things like the improvements to
Morphic's UI, the lack of composition tools (I want to be able to
create MIDI and Flash files from within Squeak), Squeak-based mail,
and making the SuperSwiki (MuSwiki based on projects).
