Well, since Elizabeth asked, all you have to do to avoid the site registration for the New York Times is replace the www.nytimes.com portion of the link with partners.nytimes.com - an old slashdot.org trick. So you could copy the URL to the browser and replace the www with partners and it would go directly to the article. If you are registered with the site, it just takes you there directly if you have it save the registration to your browser. These aren't teasers, they're story links. I know a lot of people are paranoid about registration, but most sites suck down your browser configuration objects anyway - name, address, email address - this happens on probably 90 percent of all sites you visit which you think don't record info about you. Programmatically, it's not hard to do. You can also track where people go on the page and various other things with invisible GIFs and other such tricks. And I try not to post long news items if I have a capsule description, as I figure people may not wish to read the rest of the article sometimes, and the short capsule helps you decide if it interests you.
