We would need to disallow posting of comments, too, though.  This would
just be a hacked-in workaround, not a real solution.

What should happen is that a story can have a flag, and when you go to
create a comment, view a comment, etc., the flag is checked.  I don't know
how this should be done, but you should make sure Jamie and Brian see this,
so they can look at it now (as they are currently rewriting stories and
comments as we speak).
