memo to the Washington Post
Are you guys stupid?
Any time I follow a link to a news site that requires registration, I just hit the Back button on my browser. Either that, or I go to Bugmenot.com
If I hit Back, I neither see the content on your site, nor ADVERTISEMENTS ON YOUR SITE. Think about it.
If I go to bugmenot.com, then I just get a fake ID that works on your site. How many 96 year old black Alaskan female sumo wresters are regular readers of your site? Probably quite a lot, from all over the world... she sure gets around, doesn't she?
All these registration schemes do is (1) provide roadblocks to my internet experience (2) piss me off and (3) prevent me from seeing the ads on your site; you know, the thing that makes your business profitable.
Stop it.
