Ah, thanks for categorizing my issue then 

Is it possible to give me a possible 'functional' reason,
seen from
the user's point of view, against allowing to set the author
field in
a comment entry? Or is it strictly a security/prvacy issue?
I'm just
interested what possible motivations could be.

Because the way I see it, why would anyone want to use the
Blogger API
to add comment entries to his posts, if it's not possible to
set the
author field? I thought goal of the API is to offer an
interface to
have access to methods so that you can use the data *and*
functionality of Blogger?

Thanks again for your time, Jeff.
