[wp-hackers] User who can only moderate comments

[Blake Baxendell]

Gaurav,
  Thank you very much for the plug-in.   It does work and does what I need.
  I am still looking for a way though to do it in the function.php area
instead of installing another plug-in into my database.  If anyone knows, I
appreciate the help in advance.

Blake
