What if I wanted to display the 10 most talkative users on my blog in my footer with links to their websites? Or another example: have you heard about a wp plugin called "Meet your commenters"? (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/meet-your-commenters/ ) To quote the description: "When someone comments on your blog and writes a comment with his/her URL, is leaving more information than you think. This plugin displays web pages and profiles of those users in the dashboard, so you can add them as friends if you are in the same social network." @Eric: not including it in the url field is even worst that repeating it :)

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. :)

I was saying that it can be a bad thing because it annoys people. Why does it annoy people? Because it's obvious the info was repeated just to get more attention. …And I was not doubting the extra exposure. I was saying that it can be a bad thing because it annoys people.

If you use it in the name and website fields the the likelihood that someone view it is quite slim.
