    I never like to be the one who complains; I love the blog and particularly the link posts, but I’m equally perturbed when I follow a link that piques my interest only to be hit with a paywall. Please take that into consideration when posting links from places like WSJ or NYT.

    Re the teacher cheating: For multiple choice questions, they need programs which mix and match test questions and answers so no test is the same. Or Essay questions and assignments!
