They accept no messages at all.

Instead, you connect an abstraction to those comments, and there's an 
external that will look out of an outlet of your choice and make a list of 
all objects at the end of it. In my current usage, the vertical case 
([doc_m]) includes only comments, [doc_link] objects, and [doc_same] 
objects, but the horizontal case ([doc_also]) includes potentially 
anything that has an inlet, because that's how see-also works.

Just say that it's a dummy inlet for use by certain abstractions and 
externals in order to keep track of a certain set of comments. The rest of 
the doc would go in there :

   http://gridflow.ca/help/doc_also-help.html
   http://gridflow.ca/help/doc_m-help.html

but currently, not much is written.
