Comment Author Usability Fix

[ptvguy]

This is a usability fix so that when you comment on your own posts, your name will not have a link to your own blog. In other words, when your comment is displayed on the page or in Recent Comments, your name will appear as the comment author, but will not be linked.

This particular patch works fine for me on a single user blog by checking to see if the post author and the comment author match. A better fix to cover both single and multiuser blogs would be to compare the blog URL with the comment author URL. I will try to get back to that later unless someone else wants to tackle it.

ptvguy,

Could you please explain the reason behind this change? Why do you want the link removed? Why is this a good candidate for a core patch rather than a plugin?

Plugin territory.
