Yeah. That is interesting. Pity I can't reconstruct my thought processes. I know that I'd been poking around inside the news.arc because I was looking for vulnerabilities because of my recent posts about 37 Signals and password hashing.

I wonder what set you off.

I do like the fact that here on HN there were at least two of us who thought of this way of hacking the site, one actually made it happen. It's a high quality community.
