 * Hello,
 * I’m trying to incorporate the code from comments.php into single.php but I can’t
   make it work. The comments form container comes across OK, the the comment list
   won’t print. Is there a rule that prevents me from doing this?
 * Thanks!

 * The other templates are called by: php get_header or php get_footer.
 * The comments template is called by: php comments_template – so since it’s a different
   form I’m guessing that there may be a little more to it.
 * I only allow comments on my single post page so I don’t see much benefit in having
   the comment code in a different file, but the system is not cooperating – I think.
