That's the whole point. I am not stating a true release date, but rather passing on information that I have heard of, in anticipation of a release. And, on top of that passing on my compliments to Patchou for the great work that he and the team have accomplished.
All good and well, but if you knew yourself this is an unconfirmed unofficial rumour, you shouldn't have posted it as if it was a fact.
Only stating in the thread's title
"WLM in 8 days" without any clarification in the post itself is posting it and doing as if it was an official fact.
Simply stating (under the thread's title, in the post):
"or so I heared" or
"as far as I've heared" or something in that order, would have given a whole different picture of that thread's title.
Also given the fact that extremely many people have come before you stating all kinds of dates and given the fact that extremely many new people seem not not have the common sense to read such things as a "possible rumour" but taking it in (swallowing it) as a fact and spreading it further, you can't blame the regulars here for clearly stating and correcting (for the 651465415614th time) that such stuff isn't fact, but a rumour.
And nothing is worse than a hard spread rumour taken by everybody as a true fact.
Note: The things you said about regulars not being polite and such and that they are the 'face' of a community and all, I agree upon
BTW: the thread was started in the wrong subforums anyways. This is subforum is for help and support with WLM/MSN/Windows Messenger. What you stated is a simpy chit-chat thingie about Plus!. So it should have been posted in the subforum: "Plus! General Talk". And given that, there are already many threads with "We can't wait for Plus!Live" posts and subjects, no need to create yet another one.
