[ex-Texan]

The genie cannot be put back into the bottle IMPO. Too late. I refuse to give a newspaper any personal info about me when I log onto a site. I find the pop up ads offensive, especially the really crappy ads that Drudge runs on his site. The NYT, LAT and others are just going to have to live with the Internet.

I am also tired of commecial sites using spyware. EVERY SINGLE major candidate's website has an email capture protocol. (I believe even drudge has something to that effect)
