 * Hi Guys,
 * I am trying to remove the Comments menu from the admin panel but no matter what
   I do it stays put. All the other menu items can be removed, just not the comments
   one. Below is my code:
 *     ```
       global $menu, $submenu, $user_ID;
       $the_user = new WP_User($user_ID);
       reset($menu); $page = key($menu);
   
       /*Get Menu Item*/
       while (('Comments' != $menu[$page][0]) && next($menu)) {
       		$page = key($menu);
       }
   
       /*Unset Menu Item*/
       if ('Comments' == $menu[$page][0]) {
       	unset($menu[$page]);
       }
       reset($menu); $page = key($menu);
       ```
