All,
OK, I am going to roll the dice and test something. I have just had an exchange with a Wall Street Journal editor who claims that I can use the “share” link on all their articles to allow a non-subscriber to read content that I find particularly interesting. To that end…
I am horribly allergic to urushiol oil, the material common to poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac, which causes many to have an allergic reaction. It makes me deathly ill. At one point I was even medically grounded from flying because I had developed a lung inflammation from breathing the dust in the air from shredding on our property. Until I can buy a closed station tractor we now pay someone to shred. Are you or someone you know immune to it and interested in operating our tractor to do some shredding? If so, please drop me an email.
That is a long lead-in for the purpose of this post. Yesterday I read a Wall Street Journal article with morbid curiosity. I found the article I Couldn’t Escape Poison Oak. So I Started Eating It. fascinating. There was no “gift” link so I wrote the author thanking him for the article and asking if he had any suggestions for how to secure a “gift” link? He replied in thanks for my comments, going on to tell me that he did not know how to secure such a link. This morning I wrote to several of their top executives and asked. I did get a surprisingly fast reply from one of them. He told me that I could just use the “share” link on all their content. I must tell you, I am a little bit dubious. I wrote him back asking what was the difference between the always present “share” link and the sometimes present “gift” link? I have yet to receive a reply to that one. So, this is a test. Please click the link and see if it loads for you. If so, hurray! If not, I will continue seeking a “gift” link.
