I think everything you say applies to your own message, if not more so.
I didn't have an alert pop up on my iPhone letting me know there was an
update yet, so I appreciated the information.
I've deleted more emails now complaining about people announcing they
were updating than there were emails from people updating. Furthermore,
the people sending out messages that they were updating could have been
excused for thinking they were passing along valuable information or
just getting caught up in their enthusiasm, but the message below is
from someone who's consciously choosing to pass along pointless
information and wasting the lists time, and doing it in a very rude and
disrespectful fashion.
IMHO, list moderation should be left to the list moderators, who
accomplish the same goal in a much more respectful manner. Otherwise,
complaints like this should be sent to the moderator off list, as they
ask for in the first line of the footer of every message sent to this list.

You're downloading? So what. I'd rather know that you have already
done so and that you find differences in performance, more or fewer
bugs, and other such information that has real value. You have just
wasted our time and space with your message that lacked any usable
information other than the fact that the new update is available, which
would have been known by any iDevice user, as the message was received
on that device.
