    Question above.

    I just thought if I can disable it in my Wordpress Administration, more people will comment more (too many form inputs to comment a post)
    What do you guys think?

    It's a possibility, why not test it out and see? I think it would also depend on the niche of your blog. If you have a tech savvy audience, they're probably used to supplying their email.

    It guess it is for moderation purposes. If you want to remove the bar, the whole database needs a tweak.

    Yeah, that's what I thought.. I'm not gonna tweak the core structure of Wordpress.it's gonna be a nightmare when a new version is released (I have that nightmare with my "custom" Postnuke code :()

    Just wish there's a plugin..if it's empty, then put a "dummy" email or something..should be easy to create
