Why do most Blogger-bloggers choose to block that option -- because of spam? You still need to type in that silly word-recognition thing as a spam protection, right? Blogger-bloggers, tell us why!

At least now I know that it <i>might</i> be possible to comment without creating another blog. Perhaps someone else will let us in on the secret! When I have time, I'll Google around a bit, and see if the trick is described anywhere. Peacay, thanks! At least now I know that it might be possible to comment without creating another blog.

Sometimes the name in a comment links directly to their non-blogger site and there is nothing in their blogger profile. It's all a bit strange, even stranger still with blogger-beta now online. So there must be tricks to adding html and slipping through without a blog. But of course I wouldn't know how..
