Note that this *one* "Press Release" has grown into a thread of, oh, a
good half dozen messages, and I frankly *don't know what the announcement
was about.* I haven't bothered to look at the URL, and haven't seen any
information that would indicate *why* it would be relevant. The ACM
sends me a message a day with ~20 URLs that are *greatly* relevant to
the computing industry; I seldom have time to do more than read the
titles on those messages.
If y'all can't spit out the words to show the relevance of the URL in
this long sequence of messages, I have *got* to say that this was a
spectacularly UNSUCCESSFUL press release. And a bad waste of good bits.
