You can get the NYT without the sign in if you change the 'www' to 'archive' and chop off anything after .html (in this case '&OQ=todaysheadlines') Still a pain, for sure.
It's OK to do the sign in (although I don't out of a childish spite) but just don't give them a real email address (because they have a deal with doubleclick and you don't want doubleclick to find your real address.) They don't check for accuracy, so I'd just use no@thanks.com or some variant.
once your signed in you don't have to re-sign in, it remembers you. But is that Mike's sole beef w/ nyt? I've been reading it daily since the 70's but always with a healthy grain of salt. I use my page mostly to bookmark source info on various personal interests (instead of actually clipping articles) but I hope sharing them is of some interest to others. I use nyt because that's my primary read of the day and don't feel too compromised by the access gauntlet.
