Thanks for that Otto! :D However, this is for theme distribution, so I'm 
trying to get it just right and without possible flaws. I don't have the 
legacy.comments.php file in the theme folder AT ALL .. and applied that 
filter to the functions.php file... and it appears to be working just 
fine ... I'm not sure WHY though, but it is. I tested it on the 
localhost. Maybe it's just being a little "forgiving" since it's on 
localhost, I'm not sure. I'll do a copy of the original comments.php 
file though, and rename it to be on safe side. ;)
