In response to "I'm amazed WaPo did not learned the lessons from every other news organization that tried to put their info behind a paywall" by Mr. Havens

I want quality reporting and that costs money. How are they going to pay their reporters if the papers aren't selling and online ads aren't enough?

I'm willing to pay for quality like The New York Times. I paid for it everyday before I read it online for free and I'm fine going back to paying. More people should pay.
