Sorry about the sign in

I sent out a bunch of emails inviting people to sign up to post on this blog. It looked like all you had to do was give a user name and password. After further investigation I find out it is a full sign up process. I hate those.

Then to compound the problem every alphanumeric combination of user name seems to come up "not available"

I will turn off the requirement for a log in to post a comment. I risk spambots hitting my site with tons of porn and mortgate posts. If that happens I will have to go back to some kind of log in.

Sorry for the trouble
