[OpenID] "Nightmare" article on OpenID

[Carsten Pötter]

I'm not a developer but there seem to be so many things wrong in the
article. It even starts by describing the authentication process. But
the main problem seems to be that the guy didn't set up any matching
of OpenIDs to existing usernames or emails. He didn't use Simple
Registration or AX, he didn't ask users if they already had an
account,... Nothing!

Unfortunately, the article has a LOT of comments already, 100+
Delicious saves and what not.
