Giving the primes that go with the previous article won't work.  Say
Gene posts such an article, and Joe Forger in Berkeley reads it 10 minutes
after it's posted.  Then he forges an article from a different
system, with timestamps that indicate it was written BEFORE Gene's,
but with the same primes in it.  Since network delays are unpredictable
there's no way to tell which is the real article.

You can't win...
