There have been times when devs have objected to GWN's coverage of their blogs, etc, saying they were taken out of context and GWN's interpretation got it all wrong. Posting to an embargoed location accessible only to devs first, for a preview and objection if necessary, was the compromise. (I'm not sure if it was in place before that or not, but while not a dev myself, I can definitely see the need, as I've seen the blame-games played and accusations fly and if it can be avoided, it certainly should be.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
