[wp-hackers] Using capabilities to remove posts, links and comments, but not menus.

[Kevinjohn Gallagher]

Hi Tom,

I'm sure you're aware but it should also be noted that giving someone the
capability to moderate comments allows them access to edit all posts.
This has caused me a large number of issues in the past (and 1 very public
one).
