Did you PAY ANYTHING?!!! Of course New York Times has free registration!
I didn't pay a single dollar when I read that. I couldn't, anyaway.

 Couldn't you attach a one line note: Interview with Michael Everson?

Not everyone knows Michael Everson by name on these lists.

 That is explained in the subject line.

See below.

  Only thing I can get is a REGISTER FOR FREE page.

 You need to register with New York Times to read it. It's worth it.

I just registered.  Are you telling me to pay $2.95 to read the
interview with Michael Everson?  Couldn't you attach a one line
note: Interview with Michael Everson?  You consider yourself a
pro.  Don't you expect yourself such an explanation (something
more than the name of the article) from anyone posting links to
mailing lists?

  A paragraph
  explaining the link is not so bad when posting to the ml.

 See the subject line.

See above.

For those who have become interested:

Here is the article itself:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg12741.html

And the first paragraph:

MICHAEL EVERSON, a 40-year-old typographer who lives in
Dublin, considers himself blessed because he has found his
life's work: to be an alphabetician to all the peoples of
the world. Mr. Everson's largest project to date - a
contribution to a new version of Unicode 4.0, an
international standard for computerizing text - is
cementing his reputation.
