- click170 13y agoI'm with OP on this one. I won't read your page/blog if I have to create any kind of account to do so. Full stop. Displaying ads is one thing, this is entirely different and the loss of my privacy in that way is disproportionate to whatever benefit I get from reading your page.
- mikestew 13y ago> I'm with OP on this one. I won't read your page/blog if I have to create any kind of account to do so. Full stop. I completely respect that. Is it necessary, though, to submit a comment complaining about it every time it comes up? And I'm allowing that some feel that it is necessary, but to what end? For me, the page works just fine without registering on Android Chrome and desktop Chrome on my home box. <shrug>
