Why can't comments be removed? I'd like this in the mashup server, to remove inappropriate comment-spam on resources I own, as well as to "undo" stupid posts I've made myself. Isn't it more important to remove comments than tags?
I went to add delete controls to the Mashup Server and found I can't delete comments. This will likely be a major abuse point for our online community site.
