As some of you may know, we're planning to move Now Smell This to a new location next month. We'll be using WordPress, so we'll have the ability to open up the comments to everyone — that is, not just registered users — while still preventing unreasonable amounts of comment spam.
A few people have mentioned that they'd rather see comments remain restricted to registered users. I'd love to hear your views on the matter, so please let us know: would you rather that we open up comments to anyone, or keep them the way they are? Two quick points to consider…

US researchers deployed a laboratory version of a male sea lamprey pheromone to trick ovulating females into swimming upstream into traps.
The sea lamprey, sometimes dubbed the "vampire fish", has parasitised native species of the Great Lakes since its accidental introduction in the 1800s.
[...] This is thought to be the first time that pheromones have been shown to be the basis of a possible way of controlling animal pests other than insects.
