It is a drag, having to register. But at least the Strib isn't charging to access content (yet). Salon.com has created a two-tier news caste structure with Salon Premium. There are some things you can access as a nonmember, but others you can see only if you're a paying member. I can see it now:
Osama Bin Laden captured! West Nile cure found! For more information, subscribe to Salon Premium! I wonder how this will affect Strib articles being forwarded on this list. As a Salon Premium subscriber (temporarily) I was unable to forward Garrison Keillor's Norm Coleman column to nonsubscribers. I did, however, take great pleasure in cutting-n-pasting, then forwarding this for-pay article, for free. Susan Maricle formerly of Folwell Bruno MN __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
