VersionTracker's Stupid "Post a Review" Design

I was looking at the VersionTracker.com page for Radio 8, and decided to post a review. Here's what I saw:

Nothing on the page indicated that I hadn't logged on, and in fact I thought I was because I thought I already had an account on VT.

So, I spent 10 minutes writing a one paragraph review, and posted it.

As you've guessed, I wasn't logged on. That's fine... a good system that allows you to write something without logging on will store what you've posted in a session (on the server), then allow you to log on (or even sign up), and then return you to where you were (posting the review, in this case).

VersionTracker's is NOT a good system. They had a link back to where I was before it asked me to log on, but it didn't contain my review. Gone forever.

Even worse, now I've wasted another ten minutes writing about their lousy system.
