- don't display comment ninja in mass-edit mode, since it doesn't work on that mode
- wordpress.com added avatars to the comment display and they were being sent in emails
- on multi-author blogs it grays out the comments you can't edit

Just a note to those pondering this scripts usefulness - it's absolutely fantastic. If you like to stay very active with people who comment on your posts, this script is mandatory. It makes responding both by email (personal) and on the comment itself (helpful for future readers) a snap.

- Wait a bit before sending the comment, might fix problem with comments being blocked
- BUGFIX: Respond link didn't display for guest bloggers who weren't full admins
- maybe BUGFIX: Respond link doesn't display on older versions of WordPress (specifically 2.03)
- potentional BUG: If last line of respond comment is a link then post comment loads that instead of comment page?
Can't reproduce it right now.

I installed it, there was some error, "failed to create comment" after I clicked to send test comments.

Interesting concept, anyway.
