Some criticism, although I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about it: 1) "Post Anonymously | Log In And Post" Why must it look like a set of tabs? Why not just have a name followed by an optional password field? I felt anxious when I first eyed the form region. 2) "Posting Anonymously." Perhaps thats obvious and just adds clutter. And I'm not actually posting anonymously if I enter my real name. 3) To the left of "Posting Anonymously." is a blank user display image. Distracting and unnecessary. I just want to post. 4) When I posted a comment, I was wondering if my comment would appear, and when it would appear. Perhaps some kind of message would help. 5) When I clicked on "Why?", the msg box did not appear correctly in Firefox. 6) Let the mouse pointer do what it wants please.
