It's fairly plain that it won't, in any marketing sense, at least, not at this

not generally intended for public consumption.  By ingnoring that intent, we

<bleep> shouldn't Huw have those scans up" - until I thought about it more, and
decided it was probably a good idea to not post them publically.  It's entirely
possible (and to be honest, IMHO probable) that it won't make a bit of
difference.  But on the off-hand chance that it does, I can wait to see those
pictures.

I mean, it's not like we *aren't* going to see those pictures, or know those
prices, through regular channels within the next few weeks anyway, right?
