 * How can you force commenters to leave their email address before a comment will
   post? I don’t mean before the comment will show up, I want the page to tell them
   they are required to fill in name and email fields if they accidentally leave
   one blank. Thanks!

 * If you’re using v1.5, I think that functions that way default, at least when 
   using the Kubrick theme. But since it’s obviously not working for you, I guess
   that means you’re not using Kubrick. 🙂
 * So, unless the good folks here can recommend another easier fix, perhaps you 
   could check out that template at binarybonsai.com/kubrick.

 * I am not using Kubrick, and would like to know if there is another way to either
   hack the index or use a plugin. I am using a newly installed WP 1.5

 * Under Options->Discussion check “Comment author must fill out name and e-mail”.
