Yes, please. Post here or email to webmaster@macrumors.com.
It's not that I doubt you, specifically. It's that random people made the same statements last week (and the week before). They never offered proof as you have. Go for it.

It's not coming wednesday, it's coming on friday. It's a special day this friday that has something to do with a lion. And every other major os x release was on friday.

Nah,
* First, remember, Vista suffered massive delays. First a major reboot and then missing the revised release date to the point it missing the Christmas shopping season in 200-I-forget.
* Next Vista introduced a new crude and annoying security model.
* Then Vista changed the driver model (again) and broke compatibility with many peripherals.
* And, Vista changed enough internals to break compatibility with tons of software in at least one way or another.
* Finally, Vista essentially dropped support for a large class of existing machines, even relatively recent ones.
These are what made Vista what it was.
Lion might do just the last 2 of the 5, and OS X users have never enjoyed the level of backwards compatibility that Windows users used to expect so just due to user expectations, these two are not as big a problem for OS X as they were for Vista.
Anyway, just wait for .1 or .2 release (what I always do with OS X) and you will probably have a smooth upgrade experience... It gives both Apple and third-party developers time to work out the kinks.
I love how tech websites post "next week" and then the next week they post "next week" when they're just guessing. I suppose if they keep guessing the week after, eventually they'll get it right and be able to say they guessed it. Very annoying as a reader though.
The bold is fixing your typo. And yes a lot of people will be doing this. Leeching Apple Store wifi
.
Apple normally announces new products at public events. Gee, I wonder if they will announce the shipping of MacBook Air, Mac-Mini, and Lion at the 2pm conference call tomorrow?

If you think that Lion is to Snow Leopard as Vista was to XP, you have obviously not tried the Lion GM. Why do you bother to demonstrate such blatant ignorance?
Did anyone actually believe that they would be released in the first week of July? If you didn't, you're a little too hopefully.
Last week everything seemed to point to Thursday/Friday, with new material and supposed overnight shifts. Obviously that didn't happen, but it may have been the original plan until some problems came up regarding the distribution of Lion.
The excitement's definitely growing!
By the way, what's with the extra "u", UK people?
flour...scour... these words can be pronounced (<- oops, there's another "ou") consistently.
As for the silent "u"... colour... rumour.. never served much purpose it seems... it's high time to drop the silent u.... unless that's how you folk pronounce it?
