Just went to read a blog entry and wanted to make a comment. Duefully writing the comment , filling in name and email, and the captcha and :

“Could not publish the comment, please enter the captcha code”

WHAT !!!?!?!?!
I just did that ….

Tried once more, could have been typo , or some of those captchas are simply not readable, but no luck.

Then it struck me : You have to “join” just to make a comment !!!

How many login ID’s do we have nowadays ? more than enough to make it absolutely impossible to remember unique ID’s and Passwords – in other words , too many.

I will name this the YALID Syndrome (Yet Another Login ID)
