Re:New York Times Links[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#5)

I understand your frustration with the New York Times website Registration. I wish that they didn't do it. The thing is that they have shockingly good privacy and fair-use coverage, and sometimes their stories are exclusive and there just isn't anywhere else I can link to(I always look to find an alternative). Since the registration is free and a one-time thing, the trade off is one I can live with, no matter how much I dislike it.

I'll tell you what though, from now on I'll tag all New York Times stories with (NY-Times, Registration required). Does that work?
