Yes, you're dead right (as are the others who contacted me). The 
marketing-private list was intended to be invitation only, as I said. 
Which means coming out with something resembling "get 'em while they're 
hot" was inappropriate.

Apologies to those who contacted me already about this - I'll reply to 
you privately. But for the moment, until we've discussed it a bit, it's 
best that we don't add anyone, and when we do, it'll be off-list 
invitations only. Sorry for stepping over bounds.

Dave.
