2. Thanks CatWoman. Already bookmarked.

As it is, I pay for the NY Times at a not so nearby newsstand. I can't get home delivery. So there, Gray Lady.

AOL and attempt to go there?

[CatWoman]

14. can you get to Truthout.org?

they publish a lot of those columns as well: http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/092405G.shtml

11. Thanks for the link too

This'll be useful while it lasts.

15. It's the AOL browser that's the problem. Use Explorer, and you'll get it

When I put the address in my AOL browser (the most worthless browser on earth, IMHO), it gives me the "unauthorized" message. When I put it in Explorer, I get the Web page.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

18. Cool! Truthout.org is carrying them! Thanks for the link CatWoman!

[npincus]

19. thanks, big-time!

[Eurobabe]

20. think it's down already

I can't access any columns. FWIW, I wrote the Times and told them this whole Select access thing sucks, so did my mom. At a time when people can barely afford to put gas in their tanks, they want to squeeze people to read our fav columists??

How undemocratic of them. Boo, hiss!

This is stealing by trying to get
around the pay service.
