I registered a long time ago in order to be able to use their archives going back to about 1851, was able to read the article in its entirety without signing in (or re-registering).

I don't think it's my IP address because I changed it at one point IIRC.

I was able to get straight to it using both Firefox and IE8. BTW, IE8 forces me to use msn as a start page, no way to change it without doing something complicated. So I notice every time I open it up which is more seldom now, I check my cache manually. You would not believe the cookies and other garbage it drops in there on just one visit. So I go in manually and delete them after every session w/IE8, probably should do the same with FF but it manages the cache a little differently which I don't fully understand yet. Even if I could use a blank for a start page w/IE8 which I prefer, I'd still pick up more of this garbage. If I use the feature to clear the cache, delete cookies, I check afterwards, and doesn't always delete them all.

Maybe there's another reason you can't read the article?

I thought the article was very incisive and commend them for publishing it. Better late than never.

I didn’t register with them. I think if people do, they will start charging sooner or later.

EvidenceEliminator will nuke all the cookies that you do not tell it you want to keep. You wouldn't believe how much scumware, malware, cookies, and web droppings EE cleans out of there.

A good disc cleaner is worth its weight. Check around for one. Too, try this guy's cleanup links:
