I' d bet less than half a dozen ever make such a request or demand.
I really expect the LA Times and Washington Post to remove the restriction because it is in their best interest to do so.
I'll take that bet. If six or less have made that request by the first FReepathon of 2003, I'll contribute an extra $50. If seven or more have decimated our posting privledges, I'm not sure FR will be worth my supporting.
