I personally believe that I agree with you both. Actually, one may adopt a technique which I sort of regularly use when I have very long comments in answer to some blog posts: mimicking a behaviour that's automatic in some platforms (Wordpress, I believe) I insert only a brief excerpt of my comment there, complete of link(s) to the full one, posted in my own blog. Without going this exact route, and following the very recommendations of Stack Overflow, one may write: "I suggest you the same technique I adopted in ***" where *** is a link to a PerlMonks node where additional details that would be irrelevant there are included.

Now... to the OpenID's vexata quaestio: following Aristotle's recommendation, I would like to answer some question at SO. Thus, I need an OpenID: a friend of mine told me I already have, due to having e.g. a Technorati or a Flickr account - indeed that's what the SO's login form itself says. But then, I'm maybe just too dense: can I use e.g. "my flickr url" out of the box? It says I must "enable OpenID support with my preferred provider" and I think I can manage to do so... but is there any particular advantage choosing one provider over another?
