In the last 24 hours, there have been 5 different blogs to which I would have left comments but they required me creating a username and passwords. Friends, I want to interact and be part of a community but it is ridiculous to expect anyone to keep up with passwords across umpty-ump weblogs. I understand that comment spam is hammering everyone, and I presume this is why people do that. This seems like the wrong solution to me, though, because it has the net effect of driving me away from leaving comments on blogs to which I was interested enough to want to comment.
