In order to properly tweak this for the interface like you were saying, you should add the ability to identify sender, msg, and type of comment. Are you looking into that, or should I take a stab at it (Don't want us duplicating effort again :) )
I'm looking at it, but I may not have much more time to devote
to it today, and I'm leaving town for the extended weekend,
so feel free to take at it :-)
