Pardon my ignorance, but how is talking about the pending release of
White Knight any different than talking about Adobe Type Manager, to
which noone objected?

I like hearing about such things, and it'll be a while before we see it
in MacUser or MacWorld.

Maybe we need comp.sys.mac.product-announcements (to be followed, of
course, by comp.sys.mac.product-announcements.d!)
:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I do agree, however, that we could have done without seeing the message
three times.  The traffic here is high enough already.
