Could this be a sign that the MMM is on the way and there trying to build up a little more demand for it?
Ah, another synical mind, just like me. I think you may well be right, even if the MMM is someway off; makes sure there are plenty of punters who know they have to get the new esc and cant rely on the old MM to do the job they want it to. Clever thinking on CCs part, but cruel too....
