You can already post a bunch of stupid blog comments as someone else, as long as people realize Posterous has a similar problem, it's not going to ruin your life. (Plus, (a) doesn't seem to be that big of a problem for a service you're using your email to access.)
Commenting on someone's site using a different name is pretty different from being able to fake a post. I have no expectation that comments are written by who they say they are, but I do expect all the posts to be written by the same person.
