I'm suspicious of the Washington Post for wanting age,sex, and location information before I can read an article. The LA Times and NY Times require even more information to get access to online materials.

I've registered with the NY Times because at least they are professional enough to permit FR to cite articles in full for discussion. The WP and LAT prohibit FR from using full articles.

Everybody wants information on people. I feel that police working security detail are more justified in asking for it than a newspaper.

Just give them bogus information. I found that the washington post's registration page doesn't think it's possible for someone to be born before the year 1900. I figured the zip that they cite as an example worked. As for the 'sex' question, there was no button for 'yes', so I just randomly chose one. I feed all sites that ask for stuff like that random information, and then purge their cookies once I've read what I want to.
