Einstein posting to arXiv?!?

From Open Access News:

In 1922, Albert Einstein [wrote] a paper on the superconductibity of metals that he never published. After presenting it at a Dutch symposium, he apparently forgot about it and so did everyone else --until this year, when Cornell physicist Neal Ashcroft rediscovered it in a Dutch library. If you were Ashcroft, what you do then? What would Einstein do? That's right, deposit it in arXiv. (The deposited copy is an English translation by Björn Schmekel.) For details, see yesterday's story in LinuxElectrons.
