How to disable "Add new comment"?

How can I programmatically disable the page link labeled "Add new comment" without having to modify the node template?

Thanks

If you disable commenting on that specific content type the link will be removed.

Just in case you do not know where to do what has been suggested:

Go to admin => Content Types => [Select "Edit" of the content type where you want to remove the "Add new comment] => "Comment settings".

Default comment setting: => "Disable"

This is a nice solution but then no more commenting.

Question is : how to remove the link "add new comments" yet allow commenting.

likely going to require some themeing. either css to hide it or someting more advanced.

double posted somehow related to Drupal going offline at the point I made my original comment & so did not know my comment had been taken.

I'd already removed it.
