I'm lost. Can someone explain to me in short words what was so wrong
with Selena's announcement? Even though one paragraph of text was
from the previous release, I don't think anything in there was
actually untrue. At most, it was slightly misleading or not quite up
to date. I don't even understand why we bothered to send a
correction. It's all fine and good to say that moderators on
-announce should exercise caution, but what are they supposed to be
cautious ABOUT? A minor wording problem with a release announcement
that requires a microscope to detect?
