A short rant about error handling on web sites

OK, so I forgot to click the "post anonymously" radio button in the LiveJournal comment posting form. I can't believe web sites are still doing this:
One or more errors occured processing your request. Please go back, correct the necessary information, and submit your data again.
- You did not enter your LiveJournal username. You can choose to post as "Anonymous" if you don't have a LiveJournal user account.
Why should I need to "go back"? Why not just display the form for me below the error message? Bah.
