What if the Brin-L'er lives in a rural area, and getting this article would require a half-hour's effort?
Ronn already asked a similar question, and my answer to that (which also applies here) arrived almost 15.5 hours *before* your post arrived.
But, as I am a nice guy, I will repeat the answer here:
"Well, they could send someone else to pick up a copy for them, or, if that is not possible for some reason, order a copy directly from the publisher."
I am not at all judging how "everyone else spends their time", I am providing a solution for the problem "I cannot spare the time to go to a newsstand to pick up a copy myself".I can't tell you how comforting it is to have you judging how everyone else else spends their time....
But then, correctly interpreting what others write has never been one of your talents...
