Is it appropriate to flag a link that requires you to access a paid service to be of any use? I mean, you can argue it's a "spam" link, as if a WSJ cohort posted it, they may be hoping for subscriptions.

I'm eyeballing the link pretty intensely right now...

The submitter probably went to the link from google and didn't realize it was a pay wall.

Go ahead and try it http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&#3...

It is under the nytimes article at this time

Weird. Still likely shouldn't be a link here, though I can grant it's more likely a mistake.
