Re: Commercial Sites follow up



I am glad to see that 3DCADTips has chosen to take the high road and display
the sites and tutorinls int their own browser window the way they should be
displayed.

While I agree that signing into 3DCADTrips just to get to a link is silly
and he might be selling the addresses to other companies, I don't agree that
all logins are ill natured.

Take for example my forums. The reason I require a sign in is to keep the
spammers from POSTING to the forums. It's a moderation technique. No one
wants to view posts that make no sense directing you to the latest "male
enhancement" product. So I require a login to post (not to read, just to
post). I don't catch them all but it deters most. Have you seen forums
where they do NOT require logins? They are ridden with garbage. Even this
newsgroup falls prey to it.

And by the way, with most webforums, you can hide you email address once you
sign in to avoid getting mail spam.
