Boing Boing’s Got It Wrong

GI am a huge fan of Boing Boing, but they put their patented Indigant Taser on the wrong target today. On the same day I changed my full-text archive into links to the NYT, they complain that one cannot email the full text of an article any longer.

All you have to do is choose the next link below the "Email" link, Printer-Friendly Format, then copy/ paste into an email. What is so onerous and oppressive about that? Then of course, there’s Furl. Then the fact that any NYT link from an RSS aggregator is a "never-register, never-die" premalink.

I am a huge fan of reusable content, and could be considered a huge content thief myself. This uninformed ("so they’re really making you pay"), astroturf outrage is a little dumb.
