I have to log in to read it :(

Weird, I didn't have to.

I've changed the link. See if that works.

Nope, still have to log in.
I tried going through to the article through the main site, and still asks me to join. I don't get why they would do this :confused:

I can read it without joining.
Try clearing your cache or using another browser maybe.

Maybe the first link left a bad taste in firefox
