How, specifically, would this make people less confident that'll something will come out? I don't think it will decrease confidence in the slightest degree.

What it will do is:

- launch another series of accusations that we hype too much (see MikiMikeMike's comment last night - and refer to it when you discuss this topic because it's bad faith to just leave out views contrary to yours).

- kickstart the pump & dump train leading up to the next release.


What giving dates out won't do is stop some mysterious whale dumping on our news. This has happened with every piece of pre-announced news for weeks now, and is the real reason for what the price is doing. We haven't let anyone down; someone just wants to prevent good news from putting the price up.

Solution to all three above? Stop giving dates for releases.

End.
