The timing of the announcement is pure coincidence.

I intended to announce the beta date last week in the PSI chat...but couldn't get authorization. I finally received that authorization (buy-in from Marketing) today, so I'm announcing it today.

Since today is the AGN chat, I decided to announce it there out of pure kismet...and because it seemed a reasonable thing to do.

Don't worry...even if you don't listen to the chat, I daresay the announcement will be posted...oh...somewhere.
