By at 4:15 am Monday, Jul 26

Michael sez, "Hot on the heels of a Wired article about the irrelevance of NYT thanks to forced registration, The Globe & Mail in Canada has now done the same, and the Toronto Star is about to:"
Registration at thestar.com
We are introducing registration on thestar.com. At first, registration will be voluntary. Later in July we will move to mandatory signups. Readers will have to answer several questions to access stories. Section fronts and some other areas will remain open to everyone for now.
