    Actually, I would argue that this message should be displayed if
    pings are open:<br>
    <br>
    "Comments are closed but trackbacks and pingbacks are open."<br>
    <br>
    I would never say a theme couldn't have that.&nbsp; Even my themes show a
    message similar to that.&nbsp; And, this was a decision made by my theme
    users, not me.<br>
    <br>
    Personally, I don't even check for a "comments are closed" message
    at all in my reviews.&nbsp; I consider that a theme developer's choice,
    even if I don't like the message sitting there on pages.<br>
