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.
