I didnt say it should be in the forums, i said it was barely worth a thread all to itself. It was the fact it was a straight rip from the main page I originally commented on, Iain didn't spark any discussion or offer any opinion on the matter. Just posted the press release into the forum. Fairly pointless in my eyes as the news in on the front page.

Part of the news item had already been mentioned in another thread, where it was actually relevant.
