No way

The New York Times will charge for "frequent users" (whatever that means) of their online paper, beginning in early 2011 (read about it here). Given the success (a/k/a failure) of their fee increases in the last few years, measured by the precipitous drop in sales, one wonders what the heck they're thinking. People such as myself want parts of the paper (arts, crosswords, sports, business) but not necessarily the whole paper and some of us have suggested charging for sections. They do offer the puzzles for an annual fee, now. Can you imagine paying forty or fifty dollars just to read it online? (Or is this just me?)
