How can I allow my website viewers to add comments to to my pages?
I have some news articles that I have written up, and I would like visitors to be able to write comments, leave an email address and a web address, and I would like to be able to remove inappropriate comments.
And I would like these visible on an HTML page.
How do I do this?
(I did Google it, and got nothing. If you Google it and get more than I did, tell me what you searched for)
I want to avoid using any more web programs that need MYSQL databases.

I don't see how you could use forms for that. Forms are used for a visitor to submit a message to you; once it's submitted, the form is cleared for subsequent messages.
What about a blog? Have you considered that? Here's some info: Step-By-Step: Give a Site Blog Appeal (http://www.pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid,119586,00.asp)
By the way, why does you message appear above the divider line, the line that separates "Important Topics" from "Board Topics"?

Well, this isn't a blog, but I will look into it anyways. Forms can post information..... much like what you just did when you made your last post.
My message is showing as a sticky? I don't see it like one. It looks normal...
Must be another YaBB bug.

HTML forms can "submit" information to the web server, to be retrieved by the webmaster. But, forums require more sophisticated technology. Indeed, installing a forum may be an option. Many web hosting services provide forum installation to their clients, even in starter level hosting plans. It seems to me your options are a forum or a blog.

I have YaBB, but I like using my own HTML.

If you're going to allow the addition of comments, you could write a PHP script that automatically edits the HTML and adds some extra text. That would actually be more complex though than a database-driven method.
What you're describing is basically a Wiki. There's a list of different Wiki engines >here< (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiEngines), a good place to start.

What you mean is Guestbook this (http://www.promosi-web.com/script/guestbook/) show you how to make one.

Well, I already have a guest book, you can sign it if you would like. I think its here:
www.jessez.mbhosting.com/guestbook
EDIT: Oh Crap! I deleted the MYSQL database for it!
I will look through that list of WikiEngines. They look mostly like content management systems. I will take a closer look later.

Well, I do see exactly what you mean. But what I am looking for is a comment system. This is something that allows you to leave comments on the individual pages, for example, at the bottom of a page.
If I see a site that I can use as an example, I will show you.
