Any way to "Bulk Edit" Author ID for Comments?

  I noticed (Thanks to the new Comment widget/ Thingee) that when I imported my Blog here to WordPress, my old comments are separate from my newer ones.

  I’m using a new website (obviously…Hehehehe!!) and a new e-mail, and I want to somehow edit all my old comments to match my new ones so they will all read as mine. I can’t seem to find a way to “Bulk Edit” comments in this way. Is it even possible, or must they be done individually?

  My Blog is: http://nekonekomovielitterbox.wordpress.com

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Unfortunately, this is not possible. Once a comment is published, only the administrator the blog that it was published on can alter it.

  Hmmmm? Then If I might suggest as a future idea for stuff to add… how about an ” Specific Author” filter option in the “Bulk Edit” for comments…. It would be lots easier to fix the email and website stuff if I could do them a page at a time. I can’t be the only person who’d find this neat and useful.

  But thanks for letting me in on the bad news for now….. ;)
