// @name  NYT Registration Free Links
// @namespace http://www.bobpaul.org/userScripts/
// @description Rewrites New York Times links to point to blogspace's link generator to make it Registration free. The script now clicks the generated link for you ;)
// @include *
// @exclude *.google.com/*
// ==/UserScript==




////To also have ad free pages, set the "NY Times: Link to Print pages:" script to
////include only "http://nytimes.blogspace.com/genlink?*" instead of "*"

//8-01-05 Fixed URLs that don't include the "www."


//Major Update: 6-5-05
// I found the "open" method. This allows the script to click the link on blogspace.com
// This makes the back button a little annoying, however. I'll see what I can do ;)

//Major Update: 6-17-05
// Using location.replace() instead of open to click the link, as this doesn't create a new history object
// and you can hit back from the NYTimes article without noticing blogspace...
