And then follows the "search the title on google", and so on and so on.

It's from the Wall Street Journal, of course it's paywalled. Can we just have a macro that auto-pastes the same conversation thread for each wsj.com article, and save us all a lot of typing?

Is that attitude directed at me? I'm sorry if I was supposed to know that the WSJ is always paywalled.

Not that I can immediately think of any instances where I've read the WSJ recently.

If I have read it recently, it was probably using someone else's bypass that I was unaware of.

If you could make more plain exactly where you're directing that... exasperation... that'd be fantastic. As right now, it looks directed at me and frankly, I don't think it's deserved.

Just a general observation of a long and oft repeating pattern. I'm dead serious about the macro, though.
Auto replacing with the Google link that bypasses the paywall would be even better and just avoid the problem entirely.
