All the Wall Street Journal asks for is an email address. Frankly, it doesn't even have to be a valid one. I usually use one like nospam@spamsucks.com when registering at one of these places.

I don't normally post the full text because that's a copyright violation. I'd registered to be able to read the Opinion Journal stuff long ago so I'd forgotten about needing to register. When I checked it again on my home system where the cookie had been lost when I reformatted my hard drive recently, I saw that it required registration. That's when I posted the full text. Some things are worth the effort of doing yourself, though.
