Exit HTR online...

Mark Goodacre has noted that my reference to an article of Gregory Sterling in my last update of RPBS was, in fact, a reference to a dead link. It turns out, alas, that all the former references to Harvard Theological Review on FindArticles are to dead links.

I can understand that one can not expect a publisher of a journal to publish all the articles of a paper print edition free on Internet. Though some really do just that. But it is annoying to see some articles available for a while, and then they suddenly disappear. Shouldn't we at least expect a note of explanation, og even better, a note warning readers that this article is just temporarily available on the Internet?
Well,I have checked my RPBS; there shouldn't be any more references to articles from HTR.
