The bad news: the WSJ paywall remains
The good news: the Google search and click to the article method works again
The WSJ claimed their impenetrable paywall was an experiment to gauge site traffic and subscriber-only use. Methinks their post-lockout statistics scared the living hell out of them and their advertisers so they reverted back to the mildly-irritating original system.
When I post WSJ articles, I try to delete the most irrelevant parts of the article in order to get under the word count limit. I think you pretty much get the gist of the article just from what I posted.
