Yeah, I know. For some reason, when you put a past date in Wordpress and press "schedule," it publishes the article automatically. That's all this was -- a typo.

That's really unfortunate :(

I'd be interested to see if you do a post-mortem on this - what the consequences were, and what steps you end up taking to ensure that it doesn't happen again.

The upshot may well be that this gentleman and/or this publication no longer receives embargoed information anymore, at least for a time.

I don't know if that's an "upshot", but I'd be interested to know if that happens.

One way to help ensure that it doesn't happen is to take steps to prevent it and post a post-mortem explaining both what caused it to happen and why it won't in the future.
