Best thing since sliced bread - non political post

One thing I find annoying about newspaper sites is they want the visitor to register and give them lots of information. That is their right but I don't like the spam that is generated from registering. Yes, I do check DO NOT CONTACT ME and the spam isn't from the paper. However the same mis-spelling of my name I gave to the paper is the name being addressed by the spammer.

I just found out about this site that will help avoid the problem in the future. They have lots of imaginary logins and its free and they don't collect information on the users. :-)

http://www.bugmenot.com/ is the place. Go there, enter in the URL for the paper you want to visit and it will give you a login and password. Sorry, it only works for free papers, not for paid subscription sites.
