 soorryy simon :)  i feel it necessary to be overcautious.  i'm still
working that out.

 i know - it's  that *i* know the reason why that was the case, but
like when you can't see the wood for the trees (or when debugging a
program you've been working on for a long time) i forgot what i had
and hadn't told everyone.. or why.

 anyway, it'll be a couple of days yet, the point was to invite people
who may be talking to others about this project to use a different
message when the announcement is actually made.
