8. Oh my goodness. I had heard of that a long time ago.

And last Friday?
I really wish that people would get justice while they are still alive.

9. Here's a good trick...

A lot of major newspaper outlets, including the Times, archive their articles with a website that is free and easy to use.

Go to archive.is , paste the url of the original blocked article page into the second search bar, and you can view the entire article for nothing. No limits, no log in, easy.

We know, but the greater DU group needs to learn as well.



And thank you all for helping me out.
