I haven't read the linked post because I don't go to BA sites these days due to malware issues, but...

It was on the private listservs a couple hours before it was on FT.

And yes, Gary is on those.

He is usually pretty good at HTs. Assuming there is none there, maybe it's because he saw it on the listserv before he saw it on FT.

Edited To Add, it's not clear that it was on the private listservs before it was on FT...might be a time zone thing...
