As one that regularly monitors the comments, and the spam queue (a 
suprising number of legitimagte comments end up in the spam queue), i 
think this is a good idea -- we rarely have comments outside this 
timeframe anyway, so it would not be a big loss, and if it helps out our 
few authors, Im for it.

+1 from me.
