EDNote: Carolyn raises an interesting point below. List members who have exhausted their monthly quota of free NYT articles might be interested in knowing that they can usually access extra articles via search engine. Unless the system has changed in the last year, there is a daily limit per search engine (Google, Ask, Yahoo, etc), but one can switch engines when the daily limit is reached, and keep on reading w/o a password.

Instead of banning links to possibly passworded sites, let's add a request to give warning if a linked site may require a password, and information on any available workarounds. For sites that are fully closed to non-members, of course there's no point attaching a link.

Could I request that no links demanding a password be sent out through the List. It is no end frustrating and infuriating.
