Bugging Me

You know, BugMeNot is a fine idea and all, theoretically it's nice to have a resource which can give you a temporary login and password so that you don't have to give places like the NY Times and LA Times and Chicago Tribune your personal details in order to register to read an article or two on their sites - but only if it works. I went through about 14 duds for the NY Times one before I hit an operational login/password. Either the Times is scouring this site and eliminating those logins or BugMeNot doesn't have enough people clicking on "This Login Didn't Work." Then again, maybe it's me, I could never get the NYT Link Generator to work for me either...
