I think many people would say it is worth it. Try Bugmenot (http://bugmenot.com/) if you don't want to set up an account. I was in your same place until recently when I decided to give in and set up an account. Took a minute and now I have access to one of (if not the) best journals out there. In my opinion, it's definitely worth it.

While your intentions were good and the form was creative, the end result does not contribute to the discussion. I up-voted you as I don't take these "fun" comments too seriously, but unfortunately some people do. Plus, it takes up space.
