 * Is there a way through a hack, plugin, or otherwise, that I can make my comments
   so that people have to be registered users in order to comment? (and also if 
   a user is already logged in not ask them for name/email/uri)

   It requires the user to be logged in to post comments, but pulls the name, e-
   mail and URL from the profile data accociated with that user. All my hacks can
   be found at [http://www.wellardsworld.com/archives/category/wordpress/hacks/](http://www.wellardsworld.com/archives/category/wordpress/hacks/)
   Hope that helps! -Wellard.
