Topic: H-D subscribers must register for full access

[Echo 5]

I noticed this article in the Herald-Dispatch today (copied below).  Looks like online content will be limited to 10 articles per month, unless you pay for an online subscription or pay for 7 day delivery of the paper.

I won't lose any sleep over this. All are bad rags. Mods post all articles pertaining to the Herd anyway. Landon and Vingle are bums anyway.
