This is the Real Point of College

“Three cheers for students starting college! They’ve heard doubts about whether it’s worthwhile; they’ve heard Silicon Valley’s claim that A.I. can feed them all the information (and misinformation) they could possibly want; they know college is expensive. Yet right around now, thousands and thousands of them are starting their undergraduate careers with enthusiasm.” - Dr. Michael S. Roth, President of Wesleyan

Well on the other threads, dad of jersey girl has noted multiple times that if an article requires an email to register, it shouldn’t be used and an excerpt should be provided. It should be openable with no requirement from the reader.

Do we have different rules for different forums?

An excerpt is not “posting the article”. And to me, providing an email address is not “setting up an account”.

Leaving this clarification here but if there are more questions, please pm so we don’t further derail the thread.
