I’m trying out a new commenting system. You may see a “login to post” button, but you DO NOT have to log in or register in order to post. Logging in just gives you more options: the option to respond directly to other comments, the option to be notified by e-mail when someone replies to your comment, the option to subscribe to an RSS feed for comments, the option to automaticallycopy your comments to your own Twitter stream, for instance (and if you’re one of the 98% of people who doesn’t know what that means, don’t worry about it), among other things.

Let me know whether you like it, and remember, even if you see a “login to post” button, feel free to ignore it if you don’t care about the extras.
