Krak, you are inserting your own words into a posting that occurred on another forum. The exchange actually looked like this:
“_______wrote: there seems to be a rumor that an announcement will take til MAY. SO I heard that this morning and asked LES his thoughts on that rumor. FWIW Quote: Garbage as usual”
The qualifier here is the word "til". Omit that word and the entire meaning of the exchange changes completely. It becomes a meaningless fabrication.
