 If a commenter press "Post comment" but forget to leave name, email or
 comment, he gets a white screen with an error like: "Error: please type a
 comment."

 The shocked user thinks: "What now? Am I stupid? Is this the White Window
 of Shame?"

 The answer is ''always'': "Go back and try it again." That's why we need
 to put that obvious hint: "Back" by default. It's so easy to be friendly
 :-)
