The Connection : Harvard's Working Poor
Harvard is the world's wealthiest University. But until recently,
many of the people who worked there could have just as well been
working at McDonalds, their pay was so low. These are the people who
dust the portraits, polish the oak panels, scrub the toilets and wash
the floors. These are the janitors and security guards who work day and
night doing jobs that most of the students and faculty there would find
abhorrent, and way below their station in life

...exactly. But in an MT setup, you could just use mod_rewrite and a
10-20 line Perl script :
# Stick this in a .htaccess file at the root
# of your website. Obviously, the USER_AGENT
# condition(s) would need to be adjusted
# accordingly
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/yer/mt-comments.cgi
RewriteCond %{USER_AGENT} GoogleBot
RewriteRule * - [forbidden]
# Or alternately, if you want to let
# Google archive the comments
RewriteRule ^/yer/mt-comments?id=(\d+) \
/mt-linkstripper.cgi?id=$1 [redirect]
I can't remember whether the comments are rendered as static files.
If they are then could also set up a 'special' template that loads
a plugin to do the same thing that the as-yet unwritten
"mt-linkstripper.cgi" does. At which point, the RewriteRule just
points to the new file (which makes your web server happier.)
