PSA: I love that our community shares information, articles, humor, music, and more with each other.
But please, if you're going to link something that requires a log in or subscription, add a small note. I subscribe to our local paper, and have no interest in paying "only $2 a week" to be able to read something linked here.
Thanks, and keep on, keeping on!
I wrote code for Internet Message Processors (running on tractor-sized PDP-8s) when the Internet was still the ARPAnet.
Everybody OWES me, that's how I see it.

@Synical Without modification many browsers will let you read firewalled articles by clicking 'Reader mode' icon - on firefox its on the right end of address bar on google its under more tools on the menu. Don't know on others but all should have it
@Synical A: "Won't you please make this one small change to help solve this issue?"
B: "Why not try doing these other things that don't require me to do anything different?"
You see it all the time. :)
Thanks for all the informative and kind responses!
I should also note that I'm not interested in changing my browser, adding extensions, or other workarounds. I have no issue with sites that have a fee - after all, the writers, editors, and others involved deserve to be reimbursed.
But if I know an article is pay-walled, I can check the sources I do subscribe to, and see if they picked it up off the wire as well. Opinion/Editorial pieces are where it gets tricky. π
