You can also exclude yourself from the query but I figured it was easy enough to simply not capture that in the screen shot. @STR :: Glad you liked it! @Leo :: This stuff is easy to learn – stop being a pretty-boy actor and cut the ties with Stephen doing all of the technical work! ;)

One suggestion I have for people who's sites don't get large volumes of comments (like mine doesn't) is to include an additional argument after the date and before the GROUP BY that is: AND comment_type NOT LIKE 'pingback' this will eliminate trackbacks and such from showing up in the list. I like the power of phpmyadmin, I just need to learn to use it a bit better. Hey, thanks for this.
