I'm honestly not trying to ignore any point. But that does not mean that I am not ignorant. It's been a long day. But I guess what you're referring to is this bit of what you said: > Part A or 1) *If* the article lives exclusively online, then it gets > removed.

If that's the case (and I'm by no means sure), then you didn't mention (or, perhaps, reiterate) subscription walls. And that's where I got confused. < pauses for thought > Yes, I think you felt that the 'subscription wall' bit went without saying because of the context of the argument, but I just took you as if your words were in a new realm. Still, it raises another interesting question... My local library may be free. With access to microfilm for the newspaper archives. But my local bus fair is £2. And I need a bus to get to the library. And back. So that's £4. Murdoch's subscription might charge me 10 pence to look at the article. But anyway... I'm taking us very off track. I'm sorry, I did misunderstand you. I see where you're aiming at now. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
