UPDATE: They pulled the story, but I had it up and had SingleFile in my browser, so: https://mttaggart.neocities.org/ars-whoopsie
@mttaggart of course they did, but now they'll need to explain how they managed to let that get published

@mttaggart I suppose one thing you can say about old newspapers - no one can pretend an article was never printed

@mttaggart Also, this is not a good situation. Ars has some serious explaining to do.

@mttaggart I happened to be reading in the comment section before the article got pulled.
Here is Aurich's last post saying the article was pulled and they're going to be investigating, but there probably won't be any answers until Monday and they'll update readers then. -

@mttaggart Oh, I wish you'd gotten the comments too. I can only imagine what some familiar handles would have had to say in them.

@j_s_j @mttaggart Aurich said in the comments that they are investigating, but probably won't have a response until Monday.
It had better be a good one

@hackillu @mttaggart There's now a thread on the open forum.
EDIT: Oh, but it's been locked. I've bumped heads with Aurich about some stuff but I do trust him to be pretty open when they are ready to talk about it.
