Ability to unscreen my comments by default

Title:
Ability to unscreen my comments by default

Area:
comments

Summary:
Adding a way to only screen other people's comments but leave the journal owners unscreened. (This used to be the default)

Description:
I understand why some people find the new "screen all comments" functionality useful, but I find it incredibly frustrating having to manually unscreen all my comments (if I didn't want the comment to exist, I wouldn't post it) If there's some way to set all my own comments to stay unscreened I can't find it.

The fact that I get taken to a "do you really want to unscreen this?" page makes it even more annoying, but <a href="http://dw-suggestions.dreamwidth.org/138032.html">that's already been brought up</a>.

Suggested fix: Add "all comments but mine" as an option to the "comment screening" menu in posts and Settings.

Downsides: makes the list longer. Personally I would be ok with this. If it's too unwieldy for posts I'd at least like it as an option in the "settings" menu.

I also miss the "unscreen automatically when replying" feature but not as much.
