Registration

I haven't had the Internet that long but the ability to gather all types of news easily is what I really like about it. Lately I notice more and more papers going to a free registration type system. Now this wave of registrations is <a href="http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/ny-bc-ct–newspapers-online0613jun13,0,3743870.story">making news itself</a>. You might note from previous posts that I link to the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com>"Washington Post</a> very often and it has a free registration requirement. My own little form of protest to this is the info I entered. According to the Post I am a 95 year old man with a 7 figure income who runs a major corporation. Obviously this is not right but it should skew their demographic information somewhat.<br />n<br />nThe article mentions the <a href="http://www.bugmenot.com/">BugMeNot.com</a> site. I have not tried it yet but I like the idea. Sometimes I skip an interesting news story since I don't want to register. Next time this happens I will try the BugMeNot site to see if it works.<br />n<br />n<b>A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool. William Shakespeare</b>
