bugmenot: If you are required to register to read articles at web sites,

[unhappycamper]

use bugmenot to avoid the spam that comes your way from giving out your email address. Here's the Windoze directions on how to use it:

1. Copy the URL requiring registration to the clipboard (Ctrl-C)
2. Open up a new browser window & point it to http://bugmenot.com /
3. Paste in URL into bugmenot text window. (Ctrl-V)

Most times the ID / password that is returned works. If not, there's a button to get another ID / password combination. Most web sites use cookies to keep track of this kind of data, so make sure you turn on cookies for these sites.

You can be a good citizen and add ID / password combinations if you hit a site not on bugmenot.

A while back, I asked people to register a "dailykos" account for every free site requiring a registration.
Well, it's a rare day when I come across a site that doesn't have one set up. Heck, the last post, taken from the Evansville (IN) Courrier & Press, had an account. So we're not talking big time papers here. So here's a reminder to the old times and announcement to the more recent visitors:

If the site asks for a username, it's:

dailykos
If the site asks for an email login, it's:
[e-mail]
(BTW, don't email me at [e-mail], since all email sent to it goes straight into a spam folder unless you're in my address book.)
There are two possible passwords. Most of the time, it'll be:

dailykos
However, there's a minority of sites that require a number in the password, so if "dailykos" doesn't work, try:
dailykos1
Now, if you come across a site that doesn't have a dailykos account, please set one up.
