##About

As part of the CSS reset on January 11, 2012, [resizing textareas was globally disabled](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/a/118644/170332) on all Stack Exchange sites.

While this is definitely a good thing when it comes to horizontal resizing (since it breaks the layout), vertical resizing is useful for tiny textareas (such as the comment area). This user script re-enables it.
