An e-mail poured in this morning in which a reader opined that I make it too difficult for people to leave comments.
When I started this blog, I was well aware of the fact that lax commenting policies made it easy for other blogs to get spammed with advertising and other off-topic posts. To prevent that, I flipped the switch that requires commenters to have a Blogger account (no requirement to have a blog; just an account).
This policy has kept the spammers away..... but it has also been a hindrance to those who might like to make on-topic comments.
For a while I have been thinking about un-flipping the must-be-registered-to-comment switch, and this morning's e-mail has given me a reason to give it a try.
Standard commenting etiquette (Keep It Clean,j Keep It Civil, Keep It On Topic, Bla Bla Bla) still applies, natch.
Ya'll be good, ya hear?
