thanks, but no thanks

ST Interactive informed me today in a large pop-up window that I have "9 days of free access left" and if I would like to "Subscribe now!", have "More details!", or "Close this window". I closed the window. Being a kiasu Singaporean, I will read every single article at least 2 times over these 9 days and when they make it a paying site, I'll bring my non-paying customer self somewhere else. After which, I will add ST Interactive to my bag of gripes, which already has LTA and their blasted fare hikes, MacDonald and it's $2.50/hr pay for those over 55, etc. etc. etc.
