I agree with this. Comments give context and value -- when considering a recipe, qualitative data is really useful. For example, on Amazon people have an opportunity to rate a review's usefulness. Some reviews (good ones and bad ones) are more useful than others. It's also true that some names are more trusted than others, so a comment from a reliable source is more useful than the same comment from an unknown source. >> ... >> >> [1] I've been thinking about the forms solution and I'm wondering if it >> wouldn't be better to store the data in a Cookbook/Recipe-Opinions page >> rather than on the page itself.

A summary on the recipe page could, of course, be a list of names, which would satisfy the other comments on this thread. It also makes it easier to implement a forms-based solution. It's the same logic as posting to RecentChanges, so may be able to re-use the code -- this may allow a person to update their comment, as the [[~supporter]] link becomes the key to the line being updated, so the RecentChanges code will take care of it automatically.
