Right, you might want to announce less specifics so that you go
unnoticed and then you can spam from blocks not in use. I'm just
somewhat surprised that they would announce /3's, /6's, and /7's and
be so incredibly obvious about it rather than actually be covert and
just announce a few more specifics that likely noone would notice.
But I guess at this point they're still not being caught so why worry.
