Seriously no one wants to bother even creating a user login just for yoursillyblog.com. It's pointless. What about spammers? So what, create a moderated posting queue if that's an issue. Just don't make me sign in. This is your silly blog, not my bank account.

We recently tested Disqus on one of the major blogs I work on and our comments dropped by about 60% month over month (where a lot of our users choose to comment anonymously).
