Ok, thanks.
I was hoping there was a simple way to properly disable
discussions for a 
site.
It sounds like I would have to override the edit views of
the standard types 
if I wanted to truly hide the discussion functionality, but
I don't want to 
have to do that, so I'll have to live with it, and
(probably repeatedly) 
explain to users what it's for and whether they should use
it.
