So lets see.

You sent out the release announcement. But you weren't sure the
release was ready. So you couldn't do disks.

If you're going to go around libeling people, you at least need to
have a consistent story.

BTW, there are no TNF issue CDs. That is to say, there are CDs that
Charles does, but the money from those goes to Charles (which he
presumably spends on The NetBSD Mission), they aren't "official" TNF
CDs.
