The downside is that you end up in the odd position that the only people not able to announce a new product are those that know most about it. In a perfect world that would be stupid, but this world is not perfect, and posts by those with something new to sell are not usually noted for their lack of bias.
QT gets my vote for treading a thin line carefully, and with tact. If MAGNAchrom has settled down to a regular publishing schedule, and looks like staying the course, perhaps it is time for Michael to show the same restraint as the big boys like Steve, Brooks Jensen and other publishers.
