The article cost me thirty bucks.
I paid it, first because I don't want to settle for second-hand reports, and second, because I am held to a higher standard of proof here, and would be dismissed instantly if I linked to a second-hand report. I don't like it any more than you do, but you can, of course, assume I'm lying about the article.
You want to bitch about it, take it up with Nature. Even the news story is behind the damn subscription wall. You might want to ask them how they decide which stories they block off and which ones they don't.
And believe me, I spent a LOT of time trying to find a detailed discussion of the story in the mainstream media.
