* Solar Designer:

It is insufficient that "it was an honest mistake" and that "apologies
were made and accepted."

Why?  Who determines what is appropriate in such cases, anyway?

The article has "Sep 24, 2014 8:35 AM PT" on it, which is 15:35 UTC.
Did the article's author receive the information before or after 14:00,
and when exactly?

The author does not work for the news organization in question, and he
had legitimate and need-to-know access to the information as part of
his regular employment.  I hope this clarifies things.
