Not only had I read the announcement for 2.2.5, and was fully aware that Linus delayed the posting for good reason, but I also was correct. Kernel announcements are posted here. The fact that the message was delayed is irrelevant.
>The original author's post was made before linus announced 2.2.5,
*THAT* I did not realize. Firstly, my posting was not a flame, but meant to be informative. Since I got the announcements just fine, I couldn't see how he didn't if he reads the same list. I just pointed out that i had in fact read the announcements, and so they were there. I sort my email by subject for threading in PINE, and did not try and co-relate the announcement posting with the time of the poster's posting time. I assumed that he simply did not get an announcement, or did not see one. A fair assumption.
>but after several people had started discussing it.
Fine. You misunderstood my message. I misunderstood his reason for posting. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming, and we can put this in the bitbucket.
