You wouldn't let me open an article because I had already opened too many (I think it was three). I'm sure your advertisers would be glad to know that I won't see their ads because I have read too many articles.

I do pay the $9.95 monthly fee to the WashPo, mainly for the crosswords, but sometimes the articles are worth it.

I declined to renew my subscription to the paper version recently because I could see all I needed online, and I was tired of the constantly growing stack of recycling paper.... I guess I'm part of the problem they face.
