The only problem with being unregistered is that you don't receive e-mail notification. I don't understand why unregistered people don't just write a nickname in the box. I like that these boards don't require registration -- I really don't like having to verify emails/change passwords if I have just one question about a service. Also, what's the deal with all the demo software that requires registration or form-filling? Why does netscape or macromedia need to know my address for me to try their software? Not to mention the New York Times. |

I don't turn on cookies anyway. I don't turn on Java or JavaScript (if you even know what that is or how you can turn it off thanks to Microcroft). Logging in is a pain in the ****. Even if I did register, how would you really know it's me? Could I register twice and argue a point with myself? Could I use a hotmail account or THREE? Do you know who owns all those hotmail accounts that have registered here? So called "registered" users are really more anonymous because you think they have been checked out so no one really bothers questioning who they are. Does hotmail come to your house and check to make sure the name on your underwear matches the name you registered with? When someone here stops posting for a while, did they get busy or are they just using their "other" account for a while? Could I write a script that registers me with a new name every day? Does it matter as long as you get something from the content of the post? Did the government identify cars with little numbers to make you feel safe? Do you now feel safe? Is there crime anymore? Is the government now taxing you to hell via that little number/safety you thought you got? Did you give up your freedom for a little so called safety? Freedom. Waive those flags, but know why you are waiving them and don't waive your freedoms. |

The thing is, that if you have 20 Unregistered user in one tread. Who is who? I don't care if you have an e-mail account or not (if not, why not get one of all this free account) at least I know that I can give the right person my answer. If you are so paranoid, that you hiding, why are you at all on the internet? So. if you using a fake name, who's care. Not me. I think that people is so paranoid because they have somthing to hide. No, HotMail dosen't come to your house to check out your underware..... I promest that. I have an account with them for years now and no one have come jet. LOL Mr Benjamin Franklin said somthing that we should remember "People have the goverment they deserve". With other word imoral people imoral goverment or corupt people corupt geverment and so on.... To responce to you freedom quote. I think that says all. And remember that you have to know your history so you don't do the same misstake again.. Yes, freedom is important and goverment should stay out of peoples privet business. And with freedom comes responceblity is not a word that we should hide behind. But I still say the registered user have the guts to stand for what he/she have said. Peace and love to all. Last edited by RealBigSwede; June 30th, 2002 at 09:00 AM. |

I don't understand why registering is such a big deal to some people, it really doesn't matter. I remember when one free people were the only country where they had no king, and people would argue and argue until they finally got their king, just like all the other countries. Thus a free people made themselves SUBJECTS (slaves) all because "everyone else does it". In the good ol USA they don't have a land tax, they have a PROPERTY TAX, and when you go down and REGISTER your LAND as property, you are then taxed. You have lost your privacy because you registered your land, all for what you thought was some kind of safety. Everyone here has something to hide, if not then they would all post there life story and all their personal information. There's nothing wrong with a little privacy. Good reason to "register" like everyone else. No thanks. |

"News Sites Getting to Know You" " The Online Journalism Review has a story about more and more news sites requiring registration. Has assorted facts and figures, including how much sites' traffic dropped when registration was required. Even though a fair percentage of people just make up the data they are asked to provide, I'd guess that as a statistical measure it's probably pretty accurate - many people would tell the truth without caring that they're being tracked." http://slashdot.org/articles/02/06/30/0259218.shtml Register away! |
