 * So I’m looking at possible ways to integrate comments into my plugin. As of right
   now I see only one solution, and that is to insert my events into the posts table.
 * I don’t really want to take that approach, as it’s not easily maintainable, but
   I could. Now going beyond that, even if I did move things into the wp posts table,
   I’m concerned about how much I’d be inserting. In an average persons install 
   of the plugin, there could be 10s to 100s of events a day inserted, and that’d
   add a lot of bloat to the table.
 * So, taking that option off the table, are there any suggestions on how I could
   use the existing comments framework (possibly even the db table), including plugins
   such as spam blocking, to interact with my own events?

 * While considering this, I’m also wondering if I could set the post ID to 0 in
   the comments table, and have a secondary table which overlaps with this so that
   I can point event->comment.
