Exactly. What, precisely, is the point of telling us not to talk about it?
The sets might get cancelled? The prices might change? I think anyone reading
this information knows that might happen.
Competitors might get the info? Uh, so? I'm sure the competition knows this
stuff already, and not through Lugnet. Even so, what precisely is the
competition going to do with a list of set names and numbers?
Asking fans not to talk about it is just plain stupid, and hurtful to their
reputation with their fans.
