That they volunteered -no one asked them to so it, no one forced them to do it, no one pressured them to do it...) they, actually volunteered that a bunch of things, including those mentioned in my post, would be done/announced on the week that is about to expire. I personally have made sure they were fully aware of what it was at stake here. "Just saying" is meaningless drivel, by the way.
"Barabbas, while we are working, we did not set a specific date deadline. This is a large undertaking and will take more than a few more days."
"meaningless drivel" , yes, a meaningless response to a meaningless comment..
