They are not annoying. They don't come banging on your door.
They are cheerfully offering a free service, and want you to
answer a half-dozen easy questions, once, for access. It seems
profoundly ungrateful to cavil at this.

I see this so many times - there are always people who feel
that the provider of a free service is in some way obligated
to satisfy all demands from its users. Come to think of it,
this puts us squarely back on topic, doesn't it?

They don't "try". On their login page, you are offered the
option of doing this. Good grief, what is it with some people?
