Sometimes complete anonymity is overrated. ;)<br /><br />Also, I notice that this Reader Notice was posted today (Tuesday), but it's already "below the fold" on the Recent Items list at the top. Time to expand that list to 7 or 8? And if there's any way to fix the Recent Items so that there's not a delay in its rendering, that would be wonderful. (It appears to be some kind of AJAX foolishness or something. Maybe ndk or another software person familiar with Blogger/Wordpress would have a suggestion.)

I say that even being one of the targets of earlier hostility; the speakeasy just has a certain vibrancy and ample supply of interesting commentary to it.<br /><br />My day job is work on authentication mechanisms (including OpenID, where I sit on the security committee). Time and time again I've wondered at how every new social technology that was very successful had very weak authentication and authorization. At this point, I think that's not so much accident as consequence.<br /><br />I think this is a good move. Now we all finally have an alternative to Yahoo when the vitriol gets too thick there!
