Cool, thanks for the tip on using "Ask HN:". Yep OpenID offers a step in the right direction, but not a complete solution. I actually offer this now so people can login with an account they already have (Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, etc - this uses rpxnow.com). This reduces the hurdle slightly since they can often login with just a few clicks instead of a full registration process, but it's still a hurdle. Thanks!
