Do you think they deliberately don't make that functionality part of the public API just so people won't create bots?

I doubt it. It wouldn't take very long at all to write a simple bot to do that with the existing web interface.

No, it's not that. I don't know why they don't allow comments via the official API.

Maybe @dang would be kind enough to let us know if we'll ever be able to use the API to post AUTH and post comments.
