Sure announcements of new discoveries, new leads, and all of that are exciting but for those of us who've been around for a while we know that eventually we'll know more.
Main Drain in Utah was a very carefully guarded secret and I was out of that loop for a while but eventually I found out about it a few weeks before the mainstream and still waited for THEIR announcement instead of spoiling the surprise. Kinda like telling someone the end of book 7 of Harry Potter when they were wanting to find out for themselves in their-own-good-time.
But yeah, I recall in my younger days of wanting to be in on the good-stuff as soon as I heard about it. Alas, I found out through trial and error that if I'm patient I'll know.
Now past my 30th year of caving I can wait. Was saying to myself in a calm arm-chair caver (which I'm not... yet) fashion upon reading about a new deep pit in TN... "hmm cool, guess I'll have to read about it in the NSS later."
