I want to subscribe, not submit myself

I am nobody in user interface design. Sometimes, however, I make interfaces to my programs, but, generally speaking, I do not understand anything about it. This is my main argument in this topic - user interfaces are designed for ordinary users. That is, for me too, since I am one of them.

The topic of the comment submission form on this site is one thousand million ninety times. This is another topic about this. As usual, in such topics the first picture is a form that needs some work. We will not defy the tradition - look at the picture:

This picture is actually a schematic, because you need to look at the order in which the fields are displayed, and not on the kerning, the interline distance, the width of the fields and everything that was talked about before. Sorry if this scheme hurts the eyes, and do not continue to read further - there is one more such below.

In essence, she simulates the following phrase: “Fedor Trollev, the newspaper“ Informational Herald ”. Vladimir Vladimirovich, please tell me why we were inspired from childhood that Leprozoria and UFOs do not exist? ” So they say at a press conference or by phone - first they introduce themselves, and then they say something, and the listener at that time already knows who is speaking to him.

But when Fyodor Trollev writes to someone (and he usually writes letters), the phrase meaning the same changes a little: “Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich! Why are we from childhood instilled that Leprozoria and UFO does not exist? Sincerely, Fedor Trollev, newspaper "Informational Herald". Fedor’s great-grandfather acted in the same way when he wrote a letter to his wife, adding at the end: “The great-grandfather of Fyodor Trollev, who loves you.” So why is everyone forced to submit before writing a comment, because this is also a written message?

I usually write comments when I read something, I had a thought and I am ready to put it on the keyboard. And the first thing they ask me is my name. Honestly, sometimes I need about two seconds and a complete freeing of the brain from thoughts to remember this. And I appreciate it when they give me these comment forms:

I made this form in my blog, but I will not give you a link, because I’m afraid of habraeffect, and I know that you don’t like it. You can see a bunch of forms of the first type in WordPress blogs. For forms that I like, you need to apply to blogspot.com. True, there is a need to go to a new page to see the form. And it is still unknown what is worse :-)
