That entitles you to 20 free articles a month. So it's four days into April and I'm &lt;a href=&quot;http://scripting.com/images/2011/04/04/paywallScreen.gif&quot;&gt;hitting&lt;/a&gt; the wall."></outline>
			<outline created="Tue, 05 Apr 2011 01:53:56 GMT" pgfnum="5985" text="I have a number of computers I read the Times on. It turns out that I used a bunch of different email addresses to log on to the NYT site at each of the computers. On one of them, my main desktop, I have a complementary account thanks to Lincoln. On the others, no free account. So one by one I'm hitting the 20-article limit. And learning some the quirks of the paywall."></outline>

			<outline created="Tue, 05 Apr 2011 01:55:21 GMT" pgfnum="5987" text="They have a rule that says if you come from a social media site, the 20-article limit doesn't apply. That means that if I click on a link to a &lt;a href=&quot;http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/04/04/privatizing-medicare/&quot;&gt;Krugman piece&lt;/a&gt; from my news aggregator, I get through. But, if I click on a link in Krugman's article to another NYT piece, &lt;a href=&quot;http://scripting.com/images/2011/04/04/paywallScreen.gif&quot;&gt;I hit the wall&lt;/a&gt;. "></outline>

Not exactly what the Times wants, I assume. I wonder how Krugman will feel about linking on-site vs off-site. "></outline>
