Another +1. I always find it painful to sign up for yet another account on yet another web service. No, I have no OpenID account, nor am I planning to create one. Also I strictly refuse to go to Reddit or StackOverflow. I agree that having to track three independent sites is stupid and not in any way productive. Mailing lists and newsgroups share one very desirable property: They are independent of the design choices of a single entity, whereas in Reddit and StackOverflow the webmasters choose what's supposed to be good for you. To say that by not going to Reddit/StackOverflow you miss a lot of information is almost like propaganda, a cheap way to enforce one's preferences. A professional community member should never say such a thing. Personal opinion.
