The trouble is that with so many different accounts floating around (I'm trying to count the number of sites I've had to register with in the past few months and it's NOT a pleasant number - more fool me, yes, but there you go) I can see Mark's point. I also see the point of registration to stop people spamming/doing weird things, etc.
Me too with the registrations: it gets sillier and sillier. Log-in is a fairly easy way to stop spamming, though, and something has to be done to guard against it (look at the spamattacks on alug.org.uk and the Norwich Open Guide).
