By any other name
This post concerns anonymous comments. I don't like em. Thus far I've tolerated them as long as the conversation remains civil. But it gets confusing and it seems rude, so I'm tiring of it.

Rather than force you to choose a name, leave your email, and list a page, I'm simply requesting that you chose a handle. ANY HANDLE. Just put something in the box and make it yours. Take an example from %00. I don't care if you're creative, just call yourself something. I can already tell "who" you are (generally) based on IP and ISP, but it's a pain to log in on all computers where I check comments.

I don't want to change comments utilities, as this one is both visually customizeable and archives for a long way back, but I also don't feel like moderating a crowd of ghosts. Throw me a bone, eh? Otherwise I might resort to ghostbusting.
