I had previously disabled creation of accounts, and had the settings configured to only allow posts from existing accounts. I’ve just installed a spam checker, so have enabled posts from people who aren’t signed in. Account creation is still a manual process, partly because I don’t expect anyone to care enough to create an account, and partly because the user list will still get filled with spam accounts regardless.
I don’t fancy playing whak-a-mole with the accounts. But if you want an account, just email me and ask.
The other option is to comment through Buzz, and I’ve just added a Buzz button to the posts to promote that.
