Just FYI, it's considered poor form to post a paywalled article with no way of bypassing it.

Sorry, I didn't realise it was paywalled. It didn't prompt me to pay when I opened it. It's not a source I usually use, but I couldn't find an alternative unless from much less reputable sites.

Reader view on most browsers will bypass articles like this. It worked for me.

Hmm. It does sound like Wikipedia's concerns are unlikely to come to fruition.

I still buy the odd paper if I'm working away from home.

These paywalls or "pay for no tracking" wankers make it easy to decide what papers not to buy.

Not that it really matters a flying fuck when print membership is sinking faster than the Oceangate grain of sub. It's satisfying though.
