I have no problem that you made a judgement call and didn't think a news item was necessary. But these things are always a gamble to some degree and sometimes the effect isn't what you expected with the facts to hand. Given the number of threads on -user, it really looks like the dice didn't roll in your favour this time; it looks to you like a simple decision re blockers but to the users there they see something very different, and a news item gives them the info they need. -- Alan McKinnon [email protected]
