ForgetIt@NoWay.com

Wired.com has an interesting series on websites that make you register to get to their content. If you didn't know, this is a ploy to get your email addy and flood it with junk mail. So, people are using fake info to gain access. My personal favorites are the email in the title, or if I particularly hate the stupidity of the site, eatshit@fuckoff.com. The biggest "Gee, duh" of all these sites is The New York Times and their contrary attempts to become the #1 news site online and make you pay for it. They basically have a single $million customer that keeps their news from being free, and as long as other places provide the news for free, NYT will never be #1.
