Registered Typekey Comments

So far three (3)* people who come here and comment have bothered to register a Typekey identity and thus count as "registered commenters." That suggests to me that most people feel about that as I do about re-registering as a blogger user in order to leave comments on blogspot sites -- unimpressed.

Let me point out the two advantages of being a registered commenter -- one for you, one for me. YOU get instant gratification when your comment shows up immediately. I get delayed gratification when I eventually check the Movabletype comment control panel and find out that I don't have to check and see if I want your comment to show up.

Feel free to register, regulars (I'm looking at YOU, Mrs. Smith and Frau Doktor ADM), but don't put yourself out. I only did in order to comment at Joanne Jacobs's site.

oooh - update - six (6)!

Comments

OK, it's done. I don't have a mandatory log in for my comments, but will if people keep leaving messages without names.

.....Well, this is now the default for Movabletype 3.14 -- and given my former spam problem I don't disapprove. I'm thinking of switching to unmoderated comments, though. TSB was in fine form the other night, by the way. You were mentioned. --MCT

Well, I signed in, made a long comment, and poof! it was gone. Another damned black hole. And when I'm commenting from home via modem it's so SLOW.
.......Well, it wouldn't be computers if it weren't frustrating, would it? --MCT
