[WikiEN-l] Re: Homework and research direct requests

It used to be true, and may still be, that when you bought a print copy 
of the Britannica and do all the things they want you to do (like 
subscribing to their yearbook), the price also entitled you to submit a 
limited number of research requests to the Britannica. You were allowed 
five a year, or something like that.

Soooooo... by analogy... should the price that people pay for Wikipedia 
similarly entitle them to a limited number of research requests?
