opinion.tuxtraining.com is(was) a separate wordpress instance as it really does have little to do with this site and I wanted a degree of separation.  I did not want user accounts at that site, nor did I wish to run ads.  It’s more for my own amusement than anything and definitely has nothing to do with Linux tutorials and howtos.

mysql> DELETE FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_approved = ‘0′;

Any comment that has not been approved will now be deleted.
