Thanks for your prompt response. I appreciate you caring. I think the post you mentioned and I are in basic agreement about wanting to hear that it's NOT coming out this week. She added the bit about sometime next week (still keeping it vague) but I can see that would still pin the devs down too much. I would happily accept a message from them saying:

Not a hope of getting it done this week
OR
We're trying hard and there's a slim chance of it being ready by Friday but don't hold your breath
OR
Pulling out all the stops and we're very confident it will be ready next week.

They could phrase it so we know they're doing their best both to work on the programmes and to keep us informed. It would actually be good to hear from them so they become real to us, like you moderators are. I think I'd like to hear some of the difficulties they face trying to keep us happy. (Or would that open them to abuse from some of the forum members? I certainly wouldn't want that.) I'm just thinking as I type. People who have been playing longer would know if it's been tried before and rejected because it didn't work in practice.
