I understand your disinterest in signing up for a service to sign up for ANOTHER service but keep this in mind- I'm sure very few of us on HN or in the entrepreneur community don't have accounts on at least one of the common OAuth sources (Google, Facebook, Twitter). Back in the early 2000s, when I was a kid, I signed up for probably hundreds of forums and each time I did it I had to manually create an account which usually consisted of about 20 of the exact same questions. It was extremely tedious, and as I got older and began to value my time more and more if I went to a site that expected me to answer 20 questions to join a community that I possibly wouldn't ever use again I'd just close the tab.
Now we have OAuth available and it's convenient and awesome.
Let's not go back to those old days.
