Calm down. The print version is still a click on the website, just to a version of the page with graphics removed. It's an old tradition on FR from the days when few of us had high-speed Internet connections.
The good Doctor [or the website] isn't suffering for it.
I don't usually wade into these snits, but I think freerepublicchat has a point.
Here is the real web page. See the ads? Those are revenue for someone (I don't know how Dr. Sowell is compensated).
It seems odd to me that FR has members who hate the use of FR bandwidth to drive traffic to another page, yet FR has customs that begrudge the target web site containing original content a few ad impressions.
(donning N.B.C. suit...)
BTW, BfloGuy, I lived on Grand Island a number of years, moved out around 20 years ago. How's life up that way these days?
