Good one guys! Just chill and relax and wait for the big surprise. Its not like we are a bunch of 10 year olds. I hate it when big announcements get spoiled.

bkrumme, please don't take offense to what I said. It wasn't directed at anyone in particular, just drawing attention to the fact that announcing to the owner of the company that you're looking into the patent office website isn't such a great idea. There were several mentions of it and I had hoped that it wouldn't spoil the surprise is all. When it did I got bummed out and spouted off. No hard feelings.

I know people look at that site to get upcoming information all the time. I subscribe to several blogs to get that kind of info myself (gizmodo, engadget, appleinsider, etc). I was merely suggesting that it's the kinda thing you do and then keep to yourself is all.

guys like I said I still love all of you and sometimes I just have to lay down the law.

I know that it was positive enthusiasm...

This isnt going to change the announcement date on this project....

ultimately the buck stops here....I hinted at something and if I dont want people trying to figure it out I should hold onto it a little longer..

Everybody pet their dogs squeeze the kids and tell your wife how much you like the new stuff and all is good

My goodness, what'd I miss? I've been getting antsy here in Korea, and apparently a delay in the announcement.

Poppa, I haven't been following this thread but I'm sure whatever you guys come up with, you'll hit it out of the park. Thanks for all the special inside goodies around here.

I, like Koogie, and the rest of the regulars around here feel very fortunate when we get the behind-the-scenes look at new stuff. We feel very privledged for the opportunity. Now, some of you guys trying to find out what the patent is......come on. It's like sneaking around the house looking for Christmas gifts before the big day. If BP is concerned about making sure he gets the patent, and preventing the competition from finding out. This announcement has to be huge. Think of all the things that we've been given info about. Do you not think BP would have told us early if he could? All I have to say is patience people.......patience. And if this whole searching the patent site affects future behind-the-scenes stuff the Lumberjack is going to get angry. The axe will be comin' out and I'll be choppin' down your trees.

You know, that's exactly how it feels. Like I was sneaking around the house looking for Christmas presents. And it's because I know it's gonna be something really cool. I always got a kick out of that as a kid, but never got caught. I guess I got caught this time. That goes to show how passionate I am about what Poppa and the whole EBMM crew do. I guarantee if there's a next time I'm around for an announcement like this, I'm keeping my mouth shut except for the endless speculation and crazy ideas...

I feel fortunate to get these sneak peeks, too, and I don't want them to go away. Like I said before, hindsight is 20/20. Don't want no axes falling here...
