This answers some of the questions about Gimlet that have come to me in the Bon Appétit series’ narration. That Reply All have allowed these to come up (they’re professionals) makes me wonder if they’ll address it. But I don’t want to hear from Gimlet.

For reasons, I just noticed that this URL for an 2007 article in The Age still works. The URL scheme has completely changed but it still redirects because they’ve embraced the attitude good URL never die. It’s dandy. http://www.theage.com.au/news/web/goodbye-information-superhighway/2007/08/02/1185648044623.html

The current URL scheme is much shorter and nowhere near as weird.
