However, I do personally prefer not having to log in or register. I think I may change my own site (the main site) to accept comments from all. It seems a much better option to get people posting.

I haven't had issues with spam yet, so as annoying as those squiggly letters are, mine aren't going anywhere. I agree, though--where I have to register, I most often don't. I only do if I notice that I've wanted to comment a few times already, so perhaps on my third visit with something to say, I'll register. Maybe.

As you mention, one can use a few different plugins to help reduce the level of spam while not requiring visitors to register in order to comment.

Bloggers who have them set to those with a Google Blogger account are missing out. Carl, maybe people feel the popular ones are worth subscribing to? I don't know! Derek one blogger said he did it to prevent spam. Askmet works well. It sometimes catches non-spam comments too though. So you do need to check it. Rog, sometimes the word verification thing is needed. Michael with Blogger you can set comments to be open to everyone.
