“Why go to school, when the answers to all questions are in my smart phone?” I replied, “Yes, except the important ones.” >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> So, move the "unimportant ones" to smartphone and save the "important ones" for school -- but you have greatly reduced the amount of time necessary (and optimal) for school.

To disable these two features, select the “not displayed” option and click the Save button.
By the way, whether to enable comments seems to be the choice of the article author. At least, I have noticed that they aren't allowed for obits. But I also notice other articles that are everyday that do not have a Comments button. The disabling of comments for any but pre-specified types of articles should only be allowed on approval by management (I am assuming that that is not currently the case, but, admittedly, that is a guess).
