When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: Good work and thank you back, Kathy. As I am not a fan of WSJ, I haven't registered yet. So I couldn't get the original. I should have been a menber as a pro, though.

As the WSJ requires you to pay for archives, I suggest you to go to a library. My research says it¥' published on March 23, 2005.
If you are able to access the LexixNexis database, it¥'s faster and easier to find the original.
Good luck for your research.

Discussion
If there is any doubt in your mind as to whether a question should be categorized as PRO or non-PRO, go with PRO.
Deciding between 'PRO' and 'Non-PRO'
When deciding whether to label a question 'Non-PRO' or 'PRO', use the following guideline:
Almost any question asked by a professional translator should be marked 'PRO'.
