Help with comment commentary

Hello,

I'd like to be able to edit this advice that appears when users go to post a comment:
_________________
Important Stuff

* Please try to keep posts on topic.
* Try to reply to other people comments instead of starting new threads.
* Read other people's messages before posting your own to avoid simply duplicating what has already been said.
* Use a clear subject that describes what your message is about.
* Your email address will NOT be made public.
___________________

It reads a little grumpy, IMO. Anyway, I can't seem to figure out what generates this or how to edit it. Any help you could give would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Look in your language files. It's part of the array $LANG03.
Text Formatted Code
$LANG03 = array(
    // snip
    18 => 'Important Stuff',
    19 => 'Please try to keep posts on topic.',
    20 => 'Try to reply to other people comments instead of starting new threads.',
    21 => 'Read other people\'s messages before posting your own to avoid simply duplicating what has already been said.',
    22 => 'Use a clear subject that describes what your message is about.',
    23 => 'Your email address will NOT be made public.',
 
You could also do something about it in public_html/layout/professional/comment/commentform.thtml and commentform_advanced.thtml:
Text Formatted Code
                                                        <td colspan="2"><b>{lang_importantstuff}</b><ul>
                                                            <li>{lang_instr_line1}</li>
                                                            <li>{lang_instr_line2}</li>
                                                            <li>{lang_instr_line3}</li>
                                                            <li>{lang_instr_line4}</li>
                                                            <li>{lang_instr_line5}</li></ul>
