Not really, embargos came about because monthly magazines have a lead time of about 3 months. So if you want your announcement to be in the current magazines you have to put it out 3 months before you actually want to, so you require them not to mention it before such and such a date.
Deliberate leaks on the other hand are teasers. As some may remember, I used to leak information to the list that was given to me for that purpose. I admit that sometimes it was hard to recall what was given to me in confidence, and what was meant to be leaked. However, I don't think I ever played the kid's game of "I know something you don't know", I either passed the information on, or kept quiet. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- Cotty wrote: > Embargoes of weeks or > even months are simply a ruse.
