I am sickeningly cheerful today. I do not know why this is.
I have a theory that it involves sunlight, skin, and vitamin D.
If I get too bad, somebody had better give me a good slapping around.
P.S. Any thoughts on OpenID, anybody?

I've got to get myself one first!
Unless you're interested in joining SpudTater Ltd. 8^)

But I expect you to start programming some heads right away.

Why not Typekey? Centralized registry. Not everybody trusts SixApart to control their identity. (But if you already use TypeKey, there's a good chance a future version of TypeKey will also be an OpenID server... I'm pushing for it at least, and volunteered to do the work.
Currently, it is a way to prove to random websites that I am this user on livejournal. [Without entering your password]
However, anyone can run their own openid server.
Other nice features - adding non-livejournal users to your friends lists and custom filters to allow them to see posts.

2. Anyone can run a server.
3. Livejournal phishing scams are not news.
4. Cracked by tomorrow? It's been in open development for a good few months :)
You have been able to sign in as username.livejournal.com to openid enabled sites for a while.
It's just recently that livejournal has enabled other people to log in from openid servers.

And your argument for it is: I am right because of experience, not by logic or reasoning.
Yes?

2. It is not going to be 'cracked by tomorrow'. [Check the discussion list for the serious crypto talk]
3. It is not typekey.
If people are going to be blatantly wrong then I can be blatantly argumentative :)

If spammers want to authenticate, then I'm happy for them to do so.
I'm also happy for spammers to run SPF mailservers.
So, we have two new features:
1. Non livejournal users can post authenticated comments on livejournals.
2. Livejournal users can identify themselves as such on other servers.
I don't see what this has to do with unsolicited messages at all.
