You're most welcome. I always do this with WSJ articles I submit to HN. However, the paywall busting site I use — http://archive.is/ — doesn't have https

Excellent. It works for me too. From now on, that will be my paywall buster of first resort.

I don't know why people comment with archive links for WSJ articles that were in the print edition

Because most HN readers don't have access to the print edition.

I suppose I should have been clearer. Dow Jones republishes all WSJ articles that make it to the print edition. The Morningstar website shows those. It is an ad supported way for people to read these articles without a subscription which still financially supports journalism.
