Guys, I'm fighting with the comments plugin and have some questions:

* who still has a copy of magicwords.py? the reference to it has been 
  removed from git 2 years ago, and i can't find the plugin anywhere
  online.
  http://gitorious.org/pyblosxom/pyblosxom-web/commit/20c41ad28f2c42b5cdb3ad34eb46fbb386bbd507
  preferrably a recent version, i'm running (trying to) PB 1.5
* can I prohibit users from using the nickname 'Dieter_be', my full
  name, a hostname on my domain, etc in the name/url/e-mail fields?
* can users use a title in their comment? I see there is a title
  field, which is used as some kind of spam prevention (it holds the
  title of the entry), but it seems silly (redundant and useless) to
  store this in the actual xml of the comment
* does anyone have code for working threaded (nested) comments? i.e.
  the ability to reply to a specific comment and render comments as
  such.

* is it possible to show "validition warnings" when a comment is not
  accepted?  when i try to make comments and i "forget" a field like
  'Name', the comment will be silently dropped, forcing me to fill in
  everything again, and hoping it's better the n+1th try.
  i would expect the new page contains all my text but error messages
  for the appropriate fields.  Also, fieldnames in bold for mandatory
  stuff would be useful. (although i can easily just hack that in the
  template)
