Please do not post links to sites that require registration. Some people
dont want to let marketers have their information and its rude to send links
that dont work anonymously.

rude? whatever. maybe he should have included a "free registration may be required" disclaimer. maybe you should check out BugMeNot.

what's rude is top-posting. :slight_smile:

good suggestions, and for those who use Firefox for web browsing, check out this extension for auto-use of BugMeNot:

Off-topic comment: what's rude is breaking the flow of a discussion (note I re-arranged your text so that the flow makes sense, eve if it doesn't meet your ideal). If someone top-posts, then you should follow up in-kind. Going back and forth from one to the other makes for a very difficult read. I personally prefer top-posting - when viewing emails from my Treo, for example, the text on top shows up first and does not require me to scroll down - and if I've already read the original, why would I want to re-read it when viewing the reply anyway?

I never post links that require subscription. This particular NYTimes URL
works w/o registration. Works for me at least and I am not a subscriber.
YMMV. -Hank

Hank,

I copied/pasted that URL from your e-mail, and it asked for a
user/pass. When I searched Google, it gave me the same link, but
when I clicked on it, it worked. Looks like NYT allow clickthrough
from Google only.
