Ladies/Gents,
Please think about how you're coming across on here when posting.

If I was giving "rumours" of a positive note you lot would be in a whirlwind of happiness to NEVER question my sources or motives for posting. Just think about that.
If the recruitment team member is happy to talk to this gentleman or lady, could they not let the applicants know in a more direct manner? Furthermore, if the news is negative, why the delay?
Probably because plans change or plans are more to the side of "unknown" thus rendering making a decision to release an update too difficult. I don't know why but one thing I do know is LC and his team aren't deliberately witholding information to be "nasty".
