Erik Noble has found a security issue in how the Radio UserLand comments server associates names and e-mail addresses: If anyone posts a comment and puts your e-mail address in the Email field, their name will appear with your address on every comment you made in the past.
Try it yourself by posting a comment on Erik's weblog with the e-mail address justsayno@tospam.com.
