A while back someone established a HotWIRED account in the name "cypherpunks"
with password "cypherpunks" to get around this. I make a point of mentioning
that whenever I point someone to HotWIRED. I'm assuming here that they're
not collecting identification data in some other way (if you're not using
Netscape ;).
