Wanting to be Happy with the Oregonian’s Blog

I really want to be happy with the Oregonian and their online blogging efforts and “breaking” news presented in a blog format.  Their current offerings are far superior to the horrendous nightmare that used to be their website.

That said, they’re still preventing participation.  I won’t register just to post a blog comment.  Why should I spend my time and give away personal information when I get nothing in return?  Hence, they’ve lost me as a participant.  The information that I could’ve posted to add value to their story will not appear on their site.
