I have been one of those agitating on the Poynter Online News mailing list against those very annoying site registrations being adopted by newspapers. This article is a good overview, looking especially at the systems that have emerged that allow people to circumvent registration by providing fake user logins and passwords. I think that user mandatory user registration is one of those things that looks like a good idea (and gets good results) when only a few sites do it, but becomes an unmanagable mess and a major nuisance when everybody does it. Like spam.
