 So here's the situation.

 Let's say someone has a post that is REALLY REALLY REALLY popular and it's
 active even days or weeks PAST the day you set to auto-close comments.  I
 think it would make more sense to close comments only after a post has
 been inactive for more than X days, rather than cutting it off completely
 even if it's still active.

 Sure, someone will likely set it really high if they have active posts,
 but sometimes a post becomes active a lot later, which could be closer to
 the date that the author set.

 I'm recommending that the auto-close comments feature be changed to auto-
 close comments X days after inactivity, aka, no more comments have been
 made.  This way it can more effectively keep communication open on the
 blog.
