If you are visiting SO, SF, or SU, the bar is set high intentionally. | |

| Aug 16, 2010 at 4:13 | comment | added | William Hilsum | @sth Good for you (+1 as it is sort-of cool!)- but then don't complain when you choose to go the extra mile beyond what is needed! | |
| Aug 16, 2010 at 4:10 | comment | added | sth | @Will: But I wanted my own service :) | |
| Aug 16, 2010 at 4:08 | comment | added | William Hilsum | @sth - ? I stand by what I said there. It is easy/convenient to use the site if you want to. No one told you to set up or use your own service, you could of just as easily set up a Google or other account! (Well done though) | |

| Aug 16, 2010 at 4:04 | comment | added | William Hilsum | @Shog9 Agreed! Some people will type anything, anywhere - others are careful and have a hard time trusting anysite that asks you for a username/password from another site. | |
| Aug 16, 2010 at 4:00 | comment | added | sth | What do you mean "easy/convenient"? I first had to find an OpenId service to install on my server, and since there wasn't anything decent that integrated with Django, I had to write the f**ing module myself*, before I could create a proper account. I don't mind, but wouldn't exactly call it convenient. | |

Those who do not understand OpenID or can't even figure out how to click one of the multiple-choice buttons probably shouldn't be logging into the site at all... | |
