 * Hm, it should only display comments from the current post, or if it’s in a loop,
   the current targeted post. Let me check on this, I will get back to you when 
   I find out more.

 * As far as I’ve tested, the `[comments]` shortcode lists the comments of the current
   post, or for each post in the query loop.
 * Could you describe when it’s listing all comments from all posts? Or do you mean
   that you’d like a way to pull comments from a specific post, other than the current
   one? If so, I could add a parameter so you could do something like this: `[comments
   id="3"]` or `[comments name="hello-world"]`.
