Subscribing to a service like Wired to read an article is like signing up for a full suite of Lamaze classes for an opportunity to have sex...

I wondered why it did. Figured it was because it has a limit of free articles before requiring registration, because I didn't get any screen requiring registration. That's why I suggested clearing cookies related to the website.
