An encrypted message to Edward Snowden

He's a whistleblower of historic importance. That Verizon FISA order alone has exposed deception at the highest levels of government. Proof that an Ars Technica reader can amount to something.

Cute. I'm sure he read Dilbert a few times too.

It takes quite an astonishing level of arrogance to suggest that being an "Ars Technica reader" was an important part of his identity, as that article did. Internet nerd makes a few comments on tech website, huge shock there.

It was tongue-in-cheek.

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic, playing on the fact that Wired and Ars Technica are sort of competitors.

Perhaps they are 'sort of' competitors, but both are owned by Condé Nast, so probably more a friendly corporate rivalry.

Not even that. Both are part of Wired Digital.
