Somebody was behind the origination of communication. An original
author did write "We're glad to announce...". And Emacs users and
developers are really glad to expand software for Emacs. Aren't we?
When reading a book, one reads what original author intended. Even
though author could be dead, or not existent. Authors of books will
often put many of their personal feelings and observations of other
people's feelings into written stories. That some time passed after
receiving the communication is clear.
A book written by author could be real or imaginary. Both types could
be very moving.
Apart from that, intention of notices is to tell which package is
there as new and that it shall be announced.
Package reviews are welcome. Everybody is free to write reviews and
send us announcements.
