If you really can document that and also do a convincing claim construction (*), it would help people in having this patent revoked. Being AC on a forum does not kill a patent.
(*) A reference to the patent was provided in the article, but was not a helpful one. Also the claims had a lot of features that I cannot see have been discussed here. Remember the all features requirement.
