ny times cuts own throat

i thought i'd send tom friedman a link to my post about him, so i googled him and found him at the nytimes website. i clicked on the button for sending him an email. the screen said i had to log in.

boy, is that dumb!

and dumber: you've likely noticed you often can't read times articles without signing in, too.

the times undoubtedly gets fewer online readers and fewer links from blogs as a result of that policy.

don't they know they compete with the washington post, la times, &c?

i wonder how long it'll take them to notice they're getting less traffic.
