Yes, I saw this post by the F16sec when it had just been posted and there were not any replies yet.

My first thought was :"Ooopfh, this is a great way to start a rumour !"

Especially with the timing, so right after the GC 2009 and Robi's interviews.

I stayed silent and hoped it would blow over. Well that illusion lasted for about 48 minutes !



The real content of the announcement is most likely nothing special. I guess that it deals with the upcoming class meeting, but that it not the point.

The point is that one just can not tell a kid that you got a surprise for him hidden in the house somewhere but that he may not know what it is till his birthday next year.


What do you think will happen ?

He'll develop the greatest fantasies about what it could be and mess up the house looking for it.


I'm not the most respected person in the current Governing Council board, I know.

But honestly, after 4 years in office you guys really need to develop better media skills.


Basically, if you make an official announcement on a public forum then the content must be made public as well. Otherwise, use private channels ONLY to communicate with the class members.
