C'mon folks. Be patient. It all turns on your definition of two things: The word "announcement," and the phrase "end of next week."
Who's to say that in this case the word "announcement" really means a public declaration added to the forum and/or emailed. It could be merely a side comment made privately among friends. It could be a toast among like-minded coworkers.
Or who's to say that "end of next week" means by 5 P.M. PST on Friday. Now, admittedly, the "next week" part, since it was spoken last week, clearly refers to this week. Of that we can be certain. But what does "end" mean? Could it not mean by midnight of the last weekday of the work week? Or even before midnight Saturday, since technically that is the absolute end of the week. One could even imaging that with current culture considering the weekend to be Saturday AND Sunday, that before midnight on Sunday might be considered literally the "end of the week." And since we are now entering a HOLIDAY weekend, as a very last resort, that is called a LONG weekend. LONG weekends INCLUDE the holiday, so the public (or private) comments could be made as late as before midnight Monday the 26th and you would have to allow that it could be considered to have been made before "the end of the week."
So let's cut some slack here and be reasonable. I think we're being a little harsh. It's narrow-minded and intolerant attitudes like this thread that give us a bad name among our more objective and reasonable counterparts on the IS board.
