Yup we are eager for this to be released so of course we are all subject to reading more into their statements than they actually have said. This isn't helped by Irex's lack of communication of course.

You will have noticed that my comments have been less caustic recently. This is partially because I have cooled off somewhat (and tried to see things from another side) and because I have re-read their actual statements to ensure I'm not colouring my posts with my own mis-interpretation of what little information they have provided.

Technically it could be argued that they have made no public statement about the release of the Iliad.

The planning comment is a forwarded email. Which could, of course, be forged (I don't think it is as it matches what I was told by phone. Though it does seem a little odd that Loeki only responded to one person. I certainly havn't received a reply to either of my emails about the Iliad).

One was the comment I got over the phone (which could equally be me making it up).

And the other one was a comment by a news-reader who could be wrong or working from old information.
