You can automate registrations and logins. If anyone is interested in learning how to use PHP/CURL with proxy support and find/submit fields including hidden ones. You can for example login and parse html with preg_match_all to find all the "saved" articles in your profile.

It occurs to me that this might be useful to generate one-off throwaway accounts....

I don't like sticking the credentials right there in the script though. Especially with verifyhost and verifypeer turned off. Although I say that when i've never actually been able to get it to work with them on.
