I do not like this feature or the fact that I can not turn it off.
Especially the 'read slashdot for [x] consecutive days' part.
This is an encroachment of my privacy, where is it going to stop? Are you going to list the dates and times I have read slashdot, and what stories? There goes my job.
Kind of surprising and shocking, that slashdot would be the one to sell my privacy down the river like this... And not even to the lowest bidder.. JUST DID IT, FOR NO REASON AT ALL.
We warn the reader in advance that the proof presented here depends on a
clever but highly unmotivated trick.

It could be worse, I guess, there could be a Steam-style "Anonymous Coward has spent 43 hours trolling slashdot in the past two weeks" display. ;)
