Re: WSJ.com - Stop the Music!

I think it's sort of nice that WSJ and a few others allow you to e-mail
links to their articles, in the WSJ normally available only to
subscribers in some cases.

Does the list prefer not to have this information? A link is certainly
a lot easier to send, and receive than doing a cut and paste.  My thanks
to Mark for taking time to retrieve the article and copy a portion to
the list. The entire article was fairly long and gave info from UNLV,
Columbia, GWU and USC as well as UFL. I'm happy to go with the list
preference on the matter.

Thank you!  As for the embedded "click here" links, not to put
too fine a point on it, but, even with mail coming from such
an august group, anyone who blindly clicks a link is running
some risk.

Also, embedded "click here" links don't work for everyone, so you
might
put the URL in addition to the "click here" type links.

Thanks,
