[wp-hackers] Disable comments on pages post type

[Robert Lusby]

What's the "best practise" way to disable comments support on the "page" 
post types?

When creating a custom post type, you specify:
register_post_type('example', array('supports' => 
array('title','comments')));
thus creating the comments functionality on the front-end, and the 
back-end. Removing this, would remove the comments box from the 
back-end, as well as not accepting posts on the front-end.

How do you modify the page post type to disable comments support?

I know you can obviously just "untick" the box under discussion, but I'm 
looking to remove "comments" support from "page" post types altogether ...

TIA,
Rob
