E-hem, covered it with whom? Not with the list. We've all been kept in
the dark. Unless I missed a post back there (I've been watching very
carefully), this is the first we've heard from ANY (ANY!!!) LE employee
regarding the delay. "Pathetic" is the only word that comes to mind.
Delays are acceptable, hiding when they happen isn't. A lot of my respect
for LE went down the tubes, not because of the delay, but how it was
handled.
