Matticus, are you any good at fiddling with PHP?
There is a way to check the comment type (whether it's an actual comment or something else) in the foreach loop by calling get_comment_type() on the $comments, which will return 'comment' if said comment is a true comment (left by a person).
(The foreach loop is on line 27 on the default WordPress theme)
