The problem I was having with too many &'s being added was duplicate code doing the same thing twice. I originally coded in a line for replacing the &'s in a string with &'s, and deprecated the display_comment() and format_comment() functions, then later decided to repurpose them. The former handles shortcodes now, and the latter converts &'s to &'s to preserve HTML entities. This comment should appear without problems if this problem is fixed for posting subject comments.
