Is there any way to sign up for a RSS feed for The Big One™ announcement?

I understand that The Big One™ announcement from PCGS will be on March 25th. In another thread, I thought I read that they pushed off The Big One™ announcement until Friday, March 26th, but I am not sure.

If The Big One™ will be on March 25th, I will be in Thailand, and the excessively liberal government does not ban any internet sites, and I will be able to log into PCGS.com to see what the announcement is. I simply have to worry about a coup (preferably bloodless, because Longacre is a lover, not a fighter) and the airport getting shut down.

However, if The Big One™ announcement is March 26th, I will be in China, and the significantly less liberal Chinese government gets a little squirrelly about which websites people can access.

I hear there are these RSS feeds that you can get (presumably via email?) with breaking news. Does anyone know if the PCGS announcement will be broadcast world-wide by RSS, or is it just posted on the website? For the human rights lawyers in the house, if I sign up for the RSS feeds, is there any risk that I would be considered a numismatic subversive and get myself into trouble?

    Simply amazing. The big news on March 25th is my sons 16th birthday. Just try to tell him there is anything bigger.

    "... is there any risk that I would be considered a numismatic subversive and get myself into trouble?"

    Only if the announcement contains information about curtailing Chinese counterfeits.

    I thought Longacre had a personal secretary who could just CALL him on the telephone and relay the latest info.....

    I had thought that the announcement would be writ large across the sky in many languages all across the globe.........
