I signed-up so I could post a comment on one of their articles. My comment was never posted, but I received an email from solidopinion.com about my new membership, and apparently I'm supposed to pay them if I want my comments to be visible. *expletive deleted*ck that. :mad: My comments might not be particularly valuable, but they are content for their website. If anything, they should be paying me a nominal sum.

reason and libertarians have changed a bit over the last couple decades. The magazine went downhill after Posterel left the helm to lesser men.

I read it from the late 70s through (I think) the early 90s. It was quite different, and more interesting, then, than later.

There are two different commenting sections: the paid comments, which no one actually pays any attention to except for one particularly mentally-ill troll, and the regular comments, which are free.
solidopinion are the paid ones. Going here (http://reason.com/users/register) should get you signed up for the regular, free comment section.

I'm signed up for free commenting, but there's too much of a disconnect between the articles (which I like) and the comments (ugh).

Having to pay to play seems appropriate for a libertarian rag. One recalls the wrangling over Napster, during which, Rush Limbaugh staked out his position by putting a bunch of his website content behind a paywall.
