Would it be possible to download the comments too? #24

First of all, thank you so much for this script. It's super useful for archiving important Thingiverse things so they won't ever be lost!

There are only two things I'd like to see improved with this. One is the Readme text, which is currently a mixture of clean text and broken HTML, but I see there's already an issue open for that.

The other thing I'd like is the ability to download comments. I understand this might be tricky, as some items might only have a few comments, while others might have hundreds or even thousands. But there can be a lot of useful information in the comments, such as special tips or tricks, solutions to certain issues, etc. In the interest of archiving everything to do with that Thing, I feel like it's important to save the comments as well.

Is such a thing possible? Does the Thingiverse API provide this information? Thanks.

It should provide the information, although I've not checked in the API, in truth. But yeah, I should be able to add something.
