Second step, find out how to get notified about replies.

It would be really interesting to know how the community at large deals with this, but I suspect something akin to the Observer Effect makes it a a catch-22.

There is also a third initiation step involving the commenting system, but I'm not going to say what it is, because the rule is: if you must ask, you're not ready for it :).

Are you suggesting there's actually a way?

I'm suggesting that there are numerous ways around some of the limitations of this site, such as the lack of reply notification or inability to reply quickly in a chain of many quick replies in a thread. Sometimes it's an escape hatch built into the site, other times someone has already decided to solve the problem and share. If all else fails, you can try to design your own solution.

The hacker ethos invites careful observation and exploration mixed with out of the box thinking. Whether this site purposefully aims for that or accidentally encourages it is irrelevant.

None of the google links escape the paywall.

"read wsj journal paywall"

The method explained in the first link works wonderfully, and it took a total of 0,51 seconds to find it (according to google).

The "facebook referer" thing worked for me.
