It was in the GWN.  Twice.

Funny enough, Donnie complained that I put the same information in two
GWN's and I explained that no matter, what, there would be people
bitching.  You've proven it.  There's only so many times you can tell
someone the *exact* same thing before it gets redundant.  If you missed
the announcement, I'm sorry to hear it, but I'm not apologizing for your
perception that we didn't get the word out.  We did.
