All I wanted via my original comment in this thread is the workaround. People like others and you offer a lot of advice, but not the workaround I sought. I don't want to have to read ten pages to find the workaround either.

I effectively did ask for it. You're no less useless than the other person. I recommend you stop wasting people's time on this board, and learn to be helpful when help is asked.

"How am I supposed to read this paywalled article? I'm not paying for it." read like a complaint to me, rather than a question. Now that you say that, though, it's clear that I could have read it the other way.
