New comment preview function

You can now preview your comments before you post them. I've tested it, but there may still be bugs; if you encounter an error, please don't just assume I know. Email me or post the error as a comment on this post.

Lance: it doesn't check the reCAPTCHA when you try to preview, but it will when you actually try to submit the comment. Or at least it should—are you able to actually post a comment without filling in the reCAPTCHA?

Thank you, David. As a frequent commenter that's sometimes prone to typos and grammatical heresies, I appreciate this.
