That sounds like the kind of thing people say in an attempt to guilt others into not breaking the rules.
Friedman and Dowd are a hard sell.
Yeah, but Krugman is a valuable, authoritative synthesizer. I'm glad he'll be back out in the open.
I suppose. I'll have to exert some effort to read his column, though; I've sort of outsourced this work to Atrios et al for a while.
I'm just annoyed that my alumni email address is a .net address, not a .edu address.
Zadfrack - did you get your diploma in the mail, based on life experiences?

I haven't looked into getting an alumni email address from my grad school alma mater.
I eagerly started to sign up with my alumni .edu address when I read Ben's post this morning, but saw it required my certifying that I was either a current student or faculty, decided I was unwilling to lie about it, and didn't sign up.
Does this make me a chump?
Yeah, I couldn't care less about Brooks. And I can Lexis Krugman if I really want to read him (I don't ordinarily-- enough bloggers out there are willing to summarize him for me). But now I can read Maira Kalman's illustrated columns so Yay! free Times Select.
Did it reject the email? Or is it just being really slow in sending you the approval email? If the former - how? And is your alumni email unorthodox, like Zadfracks?
Just follow the link in the other thread, ogged. If you need to sign in to the Times site, use freefranker/frank as your user/pass. Couldn't be simpler.
Don't worry, Brock - Soccer Dad in Bahlmer(, Hon) has you covered.
