I recently went to a site to post some of my views about obama. So in order to post a comment, first you need to register to the site by signing up. And the kind of fields a commentator needs to fill can drive anyone away from the website. Just a message for all the website owners….Don’t be exasperating! You just lost one of the hundreds readers. Nobody has that much time to go through unnecessary information. Make it simple and reader friendly! Sigh
