 * Hi
 * There are lots of plugin about Posts. ( this one is very good ). But ….
 * Except “Post-lister”, that can manage “comments” I wander if “query-posts” can
   have a sibling for comments. See, I want to show ” Random ” comments in my sidebar,
   with the control of “query-posts”.
 * Can it be done, or is there other choices ?

 * Cool idea. I’ve never needed it, so it’s never crossed my mind to look into the
   feasibility of doing it.
 * What sort of features would you be looking for out of it that are specific to
   comments?

 * Hi,
 * For me, my goal is to have ” random comments ” in my sidebar. And have the control
   to show or not the basic metadata.
 * Author name (full name or not) – link to the comment ( title ) – excerpt –
 * _Pierre_ **dans** Jour 47
    _Rebonjour Yves, Je fais […]_
 * With the control of **formating** the divers data. Be abble to include/exclude
   category /posts.
 * But poeple will surely want more complex meta – grabing,
 * I use [HERE](http://pierrecote.fondationcem.org/) “[Post-lister](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-lister/)“,
   but the author stop it’s development, For me it’s half working, I can not grab
   the name of the comment author and choose categories.
 * Important thing for me is : ORDER BY RAND()
 * Pierre
