Access to unbiased information and advice is vital when facing financial problems

I have full (?) access to the Financial Times web site. When I first came to the World Wide Web in about 1997, I found my favourite newspaper's feedback section wonderful for talking to like minded people, who were actually doing the job, rather than journalists who were not. (Those who can do, those that can't teach, those that can't teach consult ?)
But like all innocent good things the FT had to introduce rules and start trying to charge.
For years they kept sending me invitations to subscribe and buy a weeks worth of the paper for a pound (a bit like "Which?" really. Is it having problems competing with MSE ?)
Now the FT seems to have given up and I can log in once again to most of the paper and commentary for free.

Newspapers are having great difficulty in staying in business when challenged by the power of the internet.
I know it is that horrible "shelebity-culcher" industry but, Susan Boyle must be the first person to go from almost complete obscurity to 14,000,000 hits on Google in a matter of weeks; that is a "signed up" audience that shows the "viral" power of the net.

Thinks: With apologies to all the other "Susan Boyles" with a presence on the web, who cannot sing.

so if we use firefox with the add on for spoofing redirects (as if redirected from google) then one can access this bit of the forum without needing to login. is that what u are saying. cant be bothered with that as am logged in for months at a time anyway.

What is you secret? It feels to me that I'm logged in for about 10 minutes at a time before getting logged off.:rolleyes:

Entering the ghetto via Google gets one to the first page BUT as soon as one tries to click to the next page in the ghetto up comes the log-in screen.
Looks like we will have to compliment every newbie on their perspicacity in reading & posting in the ghetto.
