Please ignore this post, and DON'T HACK!

With the update of Drupal to release 4.6.3, I lost a hack to the comments module that added the commenter's name to the "recent comments" block in the sidebar. So I went ahead and re-did the hack.

I've attached the revised comment.module for Drupal 4.6.3 here.

Note: This is the comment.module for Drupal 4.6.3 only, and this hack is offered as-is. Use at your own risk. You are strongly advised to back up your current comment.module, and have it on-hand for rapid restoring should this not work.

(I expect it to work, but want to cover my butt in case the unexpected happens.)

Hope this is helpful!
