How the Professor Who Fooled Wikipedia Got Caught by Reddit

I'd rather have a link to the actual Atlantic web page for this story, not the Print view. It's at http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/05/how-th...

I think directly linking to the print view is dishonest: telling the Atlantic you plan to print an article, and instead posting it to HN is essentially stealing their ad revenue.

PS: Even if you claim ads are distracting and this is actually a service to the community, I'd rather install ad blockers and make such decisions myself.

I often prefer print pages for BI-type "articles" where 300 works are split across 5 different pages, but yeah in this case the article is a single page originally, and the site's own chrome isn't overbearing. There was no reason to link to the print version.

What annoys me is the complete loss of affordances for navigation, date, author info, context, etc.
