Why, Blog, Why?

Preface:
I've been paying attention to the Mboffin blog since I discovered it way back in September of '05. I have often wanted to comment on the content, but Dylan's blogware requires registration in order to comment. This is a chronicle of my attempts to register and the frustration that it has caused. As you'll see below, alerting him to the problems is actually the greater problem. I'm posting this here hoping that he finds it via an ego search, or perhaps you know him...

Dear MBoff,

Hello, love your blog and want to comment many times. BUT...

Tried to register once like a year ago. Used the name Xangelusx. Either I entered the email address wrong or something else went kludgey, but I was never able to log in. To compound matters, your contact form was only open to registered users, so I was SOL.

Now, love the FNE post. Want to tell you as much. I'm adopting it whole heartedly for that matter (I never ever LOLed, really. Though I did FNE at your FNE post (you were right)). So, signed up again. Username ChrisBloom7 (tried to reuse xangelusx but it is still considered "taken"). Got through the registration process, got the emails, got activated, tried to login - bam-o, haiku-error land. Tried again, same thing. Clicked forgot password link, got the email, reset password (same as before), tried to log in again, same error. Me thinks there is something wrong with your login form. I typically use complex passwords (including at the least numbers and upper/lower-case letters, often a special character, almost always at least one space (in this case: numbers, upper/lowers and a space, 11 chars total)) so I wonder if that is the problem. I will try a "simple" password to see if that works, but thought you should know that I really loathe your registration system at this point.

Sardonically,
Chris Bloom

PS: BTW, your webmaster@ address, listed in emails and your website, is busted. Loathing turning to utter disdain.

PPS: Tried that "simple" password thing and still no dice. Passionate hatred turning to miming Darth Vader-esque jedi-choke thingy aimed your way.
