well yeah, but what's going on, under the hood?
How does it get confused?  How could this
happen?  I'm looking for some insight, regarding a
hypothetical programmimg glitch -

security quirk

2013-01-29 Thread RichD
I read Wall Street Journal, and occasionally check
articles on their Web site.  It's mostly free, with some items
available to subscribers only.  It seems random, which ones
they block, about 20%.

Anywho, sometimes I use their search utility, the usual author
or title search, and it blocks, then I look it up on Google, and
link from there, and it loads!  ok, Web gurus, what's going on?
