OK. I'm coming out of lurk mode to make a quick comment. My reading of announced as in "the results will be announced in mid May" is that refers to a public announcement which need have nothing to do with the letters leaving Ottawa Thursday. We're all anxious and clearly there are thousands of us lurking about checking this forum on a regular basis. Personally, I check in here daily because I'm using this forum as my DEW (distant early warning) system as I figure the folks in the east will get their letters ahead of those of us in the west. But at this point, envelopes in the mail Thursday seems pretty credible and aligns with the "start of May" word that came last week. OK. I'm going back into lurk mode.
