Mr. Bigley hit the nail on the head on this one then.
Several of the previous clauses leave the WSJ open for some flexible
interpretation, but strange that they apply in distribution only (meaning,
as quoted below that some Forwarding or  "Copying and Pasting" is allowed.
They clearly say you can forward articles or print them out for a friend to
read, but the "mail lists, elec. bull boards" part quoted above rules in
this instance.


Quoted from the WSJ Subscriber agreement:

"You agree not to sell, publish, distribute, retransmit or otherwise provide
access to the content received through WSJ.com to anyone, including your
fellow employees, with the following two exceptions:
          (i)     You may occasionally distribute a copy of an article or a
portion of an article from WSJ.com in non-electronic form to a few
individuals without charge, provided you include all copyright and other
proprietary rights notices in the same form in which the notices appear in
WSJ.com, original source attribution, and the phrase "Used with permission
from The Wall Street Journal Online" or "Used with permission from Barron's
Online." Please consult the Dow Jones Reprints web site if you need to
distribute an article from WSJ.com to a larger number of individuals, on a
regular basis or in any other manner not expressly permitted by this
Agreement. 
          (ii)     You may occasionally use our "E-mail This" service to
e-mail an article from WSJ.com to a few individuals, without charge. You are
not permitted to use this service for the purpose of regularly providing
other users with access to content from WSJ.com. "


So, stop it Mr. Naegele!  :-)
