( Long uid here, shame on me ;)

No need to be ashamed! Back when LWN started offering user registration, I was very sesitive to privacy issues too. I remember only being willing to give up my anonymity when non-subscribers had to wait for a week to be able to access the newest content.

Nowadays, I subscribe to a lot of other sites. I guess I'm getting mellow with old age... :-)

You've just been corrupted by the Zeitgeist of the age :)

The subscription model also got me to setup an account, though apparently not quite as quickly as for you.

Subscription model forced me to get an account as well -- but I put LWN subscription on a wishlist for my birthday, which delayed things for a few months. Guess I was too cheap to buy it for myself, a grad student at the time ;)
