There's no point having a supposedly conversational medium like blogs with comments if you put barriers up in people's way. If folk are that worried about what people might post, just moderate stuff before it goes live. That's a reason why I don't bother with CAPTCHA on here - not only is it generally pretty evil, but it makes people's lives harder. I *want* people to talk to me here, so I try to make it as easy as possible! Totally agree.

Or even the "registration required" blogs like the new BBC ones?
