Re: New Fast Sled GB (inc. LPC-826)
It strikes me that they're more about projectors and labbies, than pointers... I'm a member solely to jump in on the occasional GB that doesn't get posted here. I probably have 20 posts if that.
Having said that - more to your point - just go to bugmenot.com, grab a login, and use it for the purpose of DLing a pdf. That's what I do when a forum requires it - which is obnoxious as far as I'm concerned. If you want to lock content, then lock the damn content and don't leave the forum THREAD google-able for banner impressions, while locking the downloads- but that's an entirely different tangent.
For what its worth, I'd think a forum admin would rather you use a random login from bugmenot to login and download a file, than signup for a whole account, use it once, and then leave it forever in their DB...
