I don’t think so.
Welcome sfsdf, it looks like you are right. I have no new information yet and there is only 1 day of January left.
Hi Jordan, don’t worry. I read on basenotes that Turin was moving from Greece to Germany (I think he will be busy) and that he may return “early” this month. I think early could mean January, February or whatever …
Congratulations for your blog Jordan 😉
Sorry, I meant early this year not early this month .
