The Return Of Unauthenticated Commenting

Some time ago, I turned off the ability of unauthenticated users to comment on entries made to this blog. Registered TypeKey users could still comment, but apparently it was too much trouble for a lot of people to register with this service. After all, who cares about being able to comment on what I say?

Well, in case you do care, I’ve now switched unauthenticated commenting back on and moved to a CAPTCHA-based scheme for distinguishing between human and automated users. If you want to comment on an entry now, you just have to answer a simple question with a one word answer and your comment will be accepted for publication.

Note, however, that if you are a registered TypeKey user, nothing changes. You can continue to post comments as an authenticated user without having to jump through any hoops.
