News site registration

For those who don't know about it, BugMeNot.com is a life-saver. It has a bookmarklet you can put in your browser that connects you to a database of news site logins so that you don't have to create your own.

I've been wanting to get this off my chest for a while: If I have no issue with using someone else's login for everything I do on a site, and people have no problem sharing their logins, the site can't be providing much value to registrants. I wish all these sites requiring useless registrations would take the hint. I also wish I knew what percentage of people provide fake data. Maybe if sites realized that around half of their registrants provided bogus data they'd give it up.
