I agree with ColdOne that Dan has, and will likely continue, to post a new thead before each release. At one time, I thought that the typical notice was about one week (7 days, not half of a non-specific Busse "two weeks"), but I recall that the last was more like a couple days in advance.

I normally check the forum several times a day, but I sometimes skip getting on the computer at all, so I can also understand bld522's concern. However, while I might prefer a week to mull things over, in the end I'm likely to trust Dan's judgment. That's not to say that there's anything wrong with posting a thread that points out where Dan has dropped a breadcrumb -- I appreciated that because I wasn't following the thread in question closely -- but I am disinclined to cast a vote suggesting how or when Dan should announce products.
