 * Hello my name is Jerry Katzman MD and I tried commenting on a post, and when 
   I did, I couldn’t see it. Are the comments moderated?
 * Thank you for your help.

 * Posts are scanned by askimet and moderated by a group of moderators here. I didn’t
   see where any of your posts had been deleted recently. It could have been caught
   be askimet and deleted automatically. If you would provide a link to the the 
   topic you where trying to post on maybe we can find something.

 * I am setting up my word press and want to inform users when comments are moderated.
 * However the documentation directs me to comments-popup.php (which does not exist
   and to comments.php which does not exist. However there are two comment.php –
   one in the wp-admin section and one in wp-inludes but neither display the following
   that is in the documentation:
 * If you use popup comments, edit comments-popup.php and if you do not, edit comments.
   php.
 * Look for the following code:
 * <p>
    <input name=”submit” type=”submit” tabindex=”5″ value=”<?php _e(“Say it!”);?
   >” /> </p> Change that to the following, adding your own customization:
 * <p>

   > will appear shortly.
 * <input name=”submit” type=”submit” tabindex=”5″ value=”<?php _e(“Say it!”); ?
   >” />
    </p>
 * Where can I find this and set it up?

 * The comments.php that’s being referred to is in your current theme’s directory.
