I still feel the main point you made, that "when new D&D stuff is made it is put behind the paywall and the only way to look at it is to give money to WOTC to look at what is essentially design notes and advertising" is untrue. But it seems like your point was more regarding the usability of their site in finding the free preview information more than anything else.  The site is currently a pretty different place from a year ago. It has some issues of its own, now, of course - but articles are pretty clearly delineated whether they are free or subscriber only content. And the archive easily sorts into different categories, like 'excerpts' and 'previews'. So I believe they have addressed any concerns along those lines.  I definitely acknowledge this is just your opinion - my issue was more with some of the claims you were making (which I didn't believe to be accurate) rather than the value judgement itself of which system you prefer.  Namely, I will continue to argue against the claim that you can't see and play 4E with no entry cost. The character builder demo and the free downloadable starter demo give all the tools with which to do so, and the regular free previews give a lot of info about the current products being released. Claiming that you nonetheless prefer Paizo's style is fine, and a reasonable opinion - claiming that these offerings of WotC do not exist, on the other hand, is simply incorrect. That is what I am objecting to, and trying to clarify - nothing more.</blockquote>
