IRRITATING SUBSCRIPTION SYSTEM AT ATLANTIC MONTHLY
Look I don't mind too much if a publication decides it wants to restrict some or all of its content to subscribers, but they could at least make it clear which bits are which. The Atlantic Monthly, a really good magazine btw, has some bits you can open, but then you suddenly discover after three or four paragrpahs that the rest if subs only. Irritates me at least. Unfortunately two of the think-pieces linked to on my sidebar -Paul Starobin:Dawn of the Daddy State and Robert Kaplan: The coming Anarchy- are now sub-only, so they'll be going when I put up the new template as promised yesterday. Nuisance.
