 	I can vouch for the above.  We tried 100% open at the LQ Wiki, but 
the spam quickly became an issue.  As it is now, to register all you need 
to do is enter a username and start editing.  The HCL requires a forum 
account, but that only requires slightly more info - username and email 
address (and we will absolutely never spam you).  It is a sad reality 
really...
