Commenting Frenzy

The new "safe, secure" commenting systems that are out there today are causing me havoc. They are not easy to use. I have created so many user ids because I can't replicate the original sign in experience.

Here's what happens: I go to a site and there is a post I want to comment on. I find that you must have a certain type of id in order to comment (Blogger, OpenId). It gives you the option of creating an id. So I create an id. The next time I come to that blog and want to post, I can't recreate the id, even though I've saved all the id information. So I try creating another id - OpenId. I think I do this successfully, but when I try to post, I get an instruction that requires more work than it's worth, considering that the next time I come to this blog, I'm not at all sure that it's going to let enter the user id info again.

It happened to day at Anglachel's Journal.

Please, please. Can we institute something simple that can be replicated again and again. My userid/password capture program is on overload.
