I always liked that you could just fill just fill in your "name", "e-mail address", and "URL", and then post a comment. (Although, if I have register to comment, then I guess I have to... since I enjoy reading and occasionally commenting both your Gene Expression blogs.)
i'm assuming registration would be optional.
