update about Firefox CommentBlocker

In case anyone reading this has been following along trying to be exactly like me, I have to let you know that my recent Firefox CommentBlocker recommendation turned out to be more of a pain than it is worth. While it does indeed kill newspaper trolls, it kills half the rest of the internet as well. It finds any tag with a class or id or name matching the word “comment” and obliterates it. I agree with another reviewer that said, “I’d rather have the extension work in the opposite way, i.e. have comments enabled on a site unless I choose to disable them.”
