Based on predictions and information it seems that my plea was not in vain...?

Oh, say it is so! Please say it is so!

If only because it would give me an inflated sense of believing that higher powers are taking note of my pleading.

That's due a big hat-tip, curtsey and thank you to Rob Buckley.

NOTE: The launch date was also mentioned - why didn't I look? - in the News section of Outpost Gallifrey a couple of days ago.
