Blogdaughter Michele of Letters From New York City posted a well-reasearched piece on the significant numbers related to 9/11. Most of these I've never heard before.

Odd that the MSM considers them less important than the body count in Iraq, since some of these numbers are also trickling upwards.

However, I'm here to make a tangential point. One of the footnotes in Michele's post says:

Some of the information was culled from Wikipedia and the NY Times (which I will not link to as it requires membership and means being subjected to lots of spam mail for you and me).

I've mentioned this before, but it bears repeating. The NY Times registration spaminator (as well as other compulsory registration sites) can be bypassed by using BugMeNot.

This site provides usernames & passwords for sites that require FREE, compulsory registration (they WON'T hand you the keys to pay sites, so don't bother asking). Just paste the URL of your target site in the search box and click the "Get Logins" button. You'll be sent to a page with several possible combinations of usernames & passwords.

Also, if you have a login you'd like to share, you may submit it to BugMeNot.

Finally, I should mention that Firefox has an extension available that allows you to automatically retrieve a login from BugMeNot by right-clicking on a login box and selecting BugMeNot from the context menu. I have it, I've used it, and it works great.

So the next time you want to send folks to an article that requires registration, you can rest easy, knowing that they can use BugMeNot to get the information without the spam.
