If it doesn't could you explain the differences please? Thanks

It's the first step:

- the thread is created when the entry is actually submitted (or accepted by the moderator)
- when someone adds a comment, a post is appended to the thread, reflecting the comment and rating, i.e. the comments appear in two places (in LDM and in VB)

To go further (e.g. greg's suggestions to have new posts place comments back into ldm), I need to change the LDM data structure to track the threadid, etc, and I also need to find out a safe and simple way of tracking everything else in the vb post system.
