Yes, I was aware that, by the terms of the FAQ, effectively all postings
in demon.service from Demon personnel are "unofficial". Therefore I'll
slap my wrists and apologise to Clive. I do think there is sometimes a
debatable issue in the way "unofficial" postings are used, but I'm not
going to raise it...

Perhaps if demon.announce was more used to make official comment, the
problem would not arise?
