Steve says today (8/12/2013) in the editorial "I wasn't surprised when a piece from Denny Cherry appeared recently"

Um, the Dennis Cherry post says "This entry was posted on Monday, October 24th, 2011 at 2:36 pm".

The code snippet linked in the Cherry post was posted 10/12/2011.

The IT World article linked in the Cherry post was posted 10/24/2011.

Is this perchance a reprinted editorial from 2011?
