    Well, no you didn't ;-)

    Have a read of it, Nick. As per post 21, the Aug update told us nothing more than that you were talking to other partners, as the original company was adopting an alternative. But in posts 16 & 19 you infer that your original plan has been abandoned and a completely different scheme is being adopted. It's that bit that's news to all of us.

    Keep some things close to your chest where you need to, but at least keep the story consistent thoughout.

    While I assume that comment was meant flippantly, I propose two (not mutually exclusive) reasons...

    1) Given the uproar on here towards the end of last year, would you like to have been a moderator there?

    2) Do you think there'd be many using it now?

    We will send a reply to everybody within three working days (promise!) and we will post some real news in the site as soon as we can. Lots of people have tried to do this, and failed. The Dutch suceeded, and we are still trying.

    You seem surprised ;) (Though I'm sure that promise technically only applied to "send[ing] a reply to everyone" not posting real news.)
