Registration is no longer required in order to post a comment

I’m always looking for ways to increase user interaction in this little microcommunity, which means reducing barriers to participation.

To that end, I have just removed the requirement of registration on this site in order to leave comments. If you want to comment on something you see and you don’t want to go through the register-activate-post-approve cycle, you can go ahead and comment away with impunity. The only thing you need to fill out is a reCAPTCHA form. Registered users don’t need to use the form, so there’s an incentive for you to register!

If it works, it’ll stay this way. If I get bombarded by hackers who’ve figured out an automated way around reCAPTCHA, I’ll have to turn it off.
