In order to leave a comment on the post you have to do the following three steps. Step One: Decipher that often undecipherable StreetView street number. Step Two: 'OCR' that rarely legible text from Google Books project. Step Three: Sign-in with your Google or OpenID account.
As I see it, the first two steps are completely unnecessary torture of end users for the sole benefit of the Google shareholders.
