I understand your concerns, but maybe you should understand Grooves point, too. These questions for a releasedate get spammed here and on the UBI-forums for more than 2 years, now.
And even though the developers and the betatesters, as well as Glowing Amraam with his movies and hints, keep a very close contact to the community, have come a long way to build a great FAQ and information-section, stickies with regular updates and a thread for posting progress information and reacting to feedback, people still don't accept the fact that a release is still scheduled for 2008 and no further details on the release-date will be published, until ED knows themselves.
They have no reasons for hiding this date and they're not really renown for spoiling the fun for their customers, so the constant bashing and demanding release-dates, showing more and less signs of good manners, is really getting to the point, where it sounds like a self-running thing, rather than the actual interest in a date.
And remember, that there are no people wanting this game to be released more than the devs themselves. So lets act like adults, have patience and wait these few more weeks left, because you won't be able to shorten time or push the release forward anyway.
They said it will be 2008, the said it's very close. So let's all look forward to it and have fun.
