Hi folks,

I just commented on the Xen FOSDEM blog post [1], but I had to:

1. Log in -- which is fine, but apparently not the same login as the button on 
the top right?
2. After logging in, I also had to fill in a captcha with a lot of digits that 
I got wrong and had to repeat.

The second step seems a little cumbersome but since commenting requires a login 
already, is it really necessary?  Have there been problems with spam that 
necessitate the additional barrier?  If not, I'd propose turning the captcha 
off.
