Hi,

Technical details aside, I've grown to like the current ease of use of
the dot.  No stupid registration and so on, but back to your point.

Actually, we do have anti-troll measures in place, *you* just don't
notice them which in my book is a good thing.  So while the trolls pay
a penalty, I don't believe anti-troll measures should penalize our
other innocent users.  Judging by the number of legitimate comments
from anonymous users vs trolls, I don't think it would be justified.

It may certainly reach the point where we will have to require
registration, but I think we're far away from that.  And as I've
mentioned before, almost no one is truly anonymous on the web.
Anonimizers can be dealt with too. ;)

Cheers,
-N.
