Drupal attributes every comment post for a non-logged-in user to "Anonymous." I am looking for how to allow anonymous users to hand enter a name, so as to differentiate from each anonymous user. I don't want to require registration to everyone who posts a comment, but I want to require them to enter some name to distinguish posters. THis is desirable in some cases, and Wordpress supports this. But I see no easy way in Drupal to do this except by doing a lot of coding which is beyond my rudimentary php knowledge. Or am I missing something?

FWIW, I am working with Drupal 6.2

You're missing something. It's a setting that is specific to each content type, so you need to go to admin -> content management -> content types. For the type of content you're using, click the edit link, then configure the "Anonymous commenting" setting.

drupal is a powerful too. But so powerful that it has serious usability problems. i see this as an example, i was struggling for hours to find this.
