Hi,

Now I see, for someone unfamiliar with OpenID(1) it's not immediately obvious
how this thing works. But anyone reasonably intelligent should be able to figure
it out easily, as you've experienced. Granted, the page is a bid sparse, a line
like you proposed would be fitting.

(1) Making assumptions here, talking in the general sense.
