I didn't. I looked for the best article on the subject, and especially one that didn't require registration, because I always have trouble with NYTimes articles.

I didn't know that the WSJ required registration, I don't have an account there, and I can still read the entire article.

Same here (no account, full article). Perhaps it's tied to location? You seem to be in Europe as well ... maybe it doesn't require registration from non-US IPs or something.

I'm in the US and it wants me to subscribe

I'm in Britain and I can read it without subscribing.
