I Object to sites which demand registration before exposing pricing
Yeserday, Siberlogic sent to the lists an announcement of a new CMS product that integrates FrameMaker. I was acutely interested. The details of the product seemed a bit light, but I proceeded anyway to look at the pricing, which, often, gives you a handle on the scope and breadth of a product. But, to see the pricing, I was required to fill out a registration form, which I refused to do for the obvious danger that the information I provided would be used in ways I would not countenance I got an email back from Siberlogic inviting me to complete the registration form, which means they had captured my email address. I replied by demanding that they remove my email address from their database. Siberlogic complied, and explained that they require registration because of experiences in the past with competitors. That seems pretty lame to me because, obviously, any competitor could easily disguise a pricing probe. Those of you who also object to a requirement for providing personal and job-related information before being allowed to look at product pricing might be interested in joining an effort to stop this practice.

That seems pretty lame to me because, obviously, any competitor could easily disguise a pricing probe. So could you.
