I wonder if there is a way to implement user comments to a symbol so other 
users can indicate their experiences?  We have found a few symbols on the net 
or that are included with PCB that probably worked very well for someone 
else, but caused us problems.  It might be helpful if users could post 
comments like 'beware if you use this with Moldar rev A part' or 'shape is 
great for the Whizding parts, but the origin is in pin one instead of the 
centroid of the part so pick-and-place had fits with it.'

Any thoughts on an easy way to implement user comments?
