Comment on Thoughts on the Posterous hack

Uhm you don't have to have an epic GUID e-mail address. Just pair it with your e-mail. So let the user set it to whatever they can remember (their name backwards and ROT13'd, whatever, so long as it's unique) and only accept posts to that address from their verified e-mail. That would at least curb some of the danger of this setup.
