I was just busy reading Seth Godin's blog and his new post The Cure. I tried to make a comment, but it said I had to sign up to Digg in order to do so.
Isn't the whole point of a blog to share your own personal views and then allow others to comment on these views?
I am not going to sign up to another website simply to make a comment to Seth, so instead I am posting a reply on my blog, and I can only hope it somehow reaches him.
Seth Godin , in your recent post The Cure you make a comment that "there is no real cure out there" referring to essentially everything. Pending on the situation though, the cure can be a perception thing. In term of a marketing consultant, if they go to a company and provide them with a solution which solves the problem that company is encountering, than the company would perceive this to be a cure no?
Not a very insightful comment, but one I felt like making when reading his post, which he wouldn't let me do unless I joined Digg.
Seth if you wan't to respond to my post, all you have to do is click the post a comment button. No signing up necessary.

There's actually been a fair bit of debate lately as to whether people should allow comments or not.
Seth obviously has a pretty strong stance on this and being the number one marketing blogger I think his view carries a little weight. He does allow trackbacks, so if you wish to make a comment you can do so, like in this blog, and then refer back to the original post.
I imagine the subscribe to Digg would be for a comment on the Digg article, not the blog.

Seth's Blog: Why I Don't Have Comments
I don't blame him, he has the most popular marketing blog in the world, imagine how out-of-hand his commenting system would get :S
And as Zac said, the Digg page doesn't belong to him, and I daresay he wouldn't look at it.
