Dang it, Jeffry…the WSJ post on overdraft solutions requires an online subscription! I’m dying to read it. Do you know if it was published in the print edition and on what day? mz

Sorry. Here’s the link you need:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704895004575395513588794780.html?mod=googlenews_wsj
I didn’t have the “?mod=googlenews_wsj” part of the URL. The WSJ and its stupid web address “rules.” It’s fixed in the article now.
I can’t ever understand why/how the WSJ organizes its URLs and permalinks. If you Google the headline for any WSJ article, you can always find a free one somewhere. Same thing for the NYT.
