@pihentagy: I've looked at it, and the code, but it's not I need, and I wasn't able to get my head around the code that was there to be able to adapt it to what I needed.
@Chis: I found that article this week. Thanks. I'm actually porting some of that code for my own project. I'll post a message when get further along in my app. Also, I'm a little bit of a newb to Django myself (5 months of steady work with it), but I wasn't really able to figure out how to use the MPTT app, either. That's the reason that I'm writing my own. At DjangoCon, about 50% of the people attending actually said that they had rolled their own comments framework. So, I don't think we're alone.
