The only way I found to let people on the list see Forelle's article was
to "email to a friend" from the wsj web site. This would involve, in
effect, publishing a copyrighted work thru subtrifuge. Not something I
want to do on a Debian list.
Forelle's email address is charles.forelle@wsj.com
The hotlink that worked for me, is:
http://online.wsj.com/article/0,,SB107162364118430200,00.html?mod=pj%5Fhomes%5Fhs%5Fcoll%5Fleft
if this works, OK, but do respect the copyright.
I can email a copy to a few friends who email me off list. For me, a
friend is a person says he/she is my friend (I guess that would make
most of the email users in Liberia my friends ;-)
