It seems the editor who re-created the article with the Register piece has been blocked by Jehochman for being too POINTY.

However, our website with its search-ranking-fu does not need to be made available to those who wish to amplify his problems. The register article is quite public. I don't see how anything is being covered up.

One/CHL, do you know anything about this? Lar?
Holy shit. Glad you're working there to stomp this out before it becomes a problem, Jehochman. Reminds me a lot about Twain's story of the fire at the gunpowder factory where somebody drops a lighted cigar and they burn up nearly a bushel before they can put it out.
So good on you. And you might let Jimbo know there that, in theory, WP can be used for defamation, AS WELL AS GOOD. It's a shocker, and a very new concern, but--- hey--- creativity is what we expect from you, so probably you'll eventually get a hearing.
