"published" and "available" are misleading at best. The article is
teased with a sentence and a half, truncated by a demand for an email
address with tiny legalese mentioning a privacy policy and terms of
use that undoubtedly would take far longer to read than Gont's
valuable content.

I guess I'll take a look at this to see what you're smoking.

"news" in quotes is appropriate given it's really eyeball harvesting
for marketing purposes.
