But we're not talking registration. We're talking subscription. Registration to me means filling out a form with your name, your
address, your birthday, your email address, you phone number(s),
unchecking the politely worded options to spam your email address and so
on.  Subscription is "here's my email address so I can receive the
replies to my inquery".

Yeah, but . . . .

I'm still not sure I'd want to "subscribe" either. Sometimes I just want to email a correction or comment, and don't need a reply, etc.

Granted, "subscription" is a lot less intrusive/painful than "registration", as you define the terms, but I still like the idea of open posting.

Just my opinion though (which has been shown on several occasions to be worthless).
