Exactimo.  I find it frustrating having to reply and telling them that

OK, before we do this I think we all need to discuss what's doing to
happen in the next couple of months and plan what exactly we will do,
when it will be done and stuff like that.  When we have a rock solid
plan (which I'm hoping won't take longer than a few days to straighten
out) then we post a news item, and get down to work.

How does that sound?
