Daniel म्हणाले...: Many universities offer alumni "permanent" email addresses which can be forwarded to other addresses. In my case I have an "alum.mit.edu" address. Just for the heck of it, I used it a few minutes ago to sign up for TimesSelect (I had to lie about my graduation year). It worked.

Not that I'm really interested in reading the TimeSelect content; I was just curious if they are effectively opening it up to alumni as well.; १५/३/०७, ८:४९ PM

(Personally, I've been reading Times Select articles for months through my univ's LexisNexis access); १५/३/०७, ९:३० PM

In fact, you were presumably paid by TS as a TS columnist last week.

Didn't you used to sneer at TS as counterproductive and self-defeating...until you went over to the dark side of the pay wall? Haven't heard a peep from you on the topic lately .; १६/३/०७, २:४५ PM
