Sorry about that, John. They must have changed the access rights just minutes ago. I followed the URL from a posting on LinkedIn and read the entire article. I even had the option to download the PDF (didn't bother though). That's how I was able to scrape that quote.
BTW, they only want $39 for a copy of the single article, not $220. FWIW. Oh well, another pun wasted. ;-) On Mon, Apr 28, 2014 at 4:39 PM, John <jsessoms...@nc.rr.com> wrote: > I would find the article a whole lot more interesting if they weren't > asking me to pay $220 to read it. > > Does raise an interesting question though.
