Not to mention that the print edition has a ton of advertising, bringing
in revenue which I doubt the online version comes anywhere near.  I'm
sure they don't want to encourage people to give up the print edition
for the online version...

The folks overseas who pay a lot for foreign delivery (days late) have
been begging for this for years.  I would think it's a bargain for them.
