I imagine Tim submits press releases. Or possibly one or two online editors are members of one of the mailing lists and that is how they know.

I have been involved in technical writing for almost three decades. Regardless of how much effort anybody exerts into word smithing, somebody will interpret the words in a manner never intended or imagined. This is the nature of communications. There is no way to avoid that from happening.

A peer review of the web pages and press releases before publication will eliminate most misunderstanding. An easy solution is to prepare the release web pages but keep the links to the pages hidden until the official release. Notify everybody on this list with the links and ask for feedback and comments.
