I'm talking about the semantics of the non-technical part: the wording
of things that people post in email.  viz: the time-wasting nonsense
about "oh, it seems to be released already, has anyone noticed?" from
a few weeks ago.

It was 100% FUD, which apparently you knew perfectly well at the time,
and thus AFAICT only posted it to draw attention to yourself.

That's the drama I'm talking about.
