On Deja Vu all over again

So there was a press release at the AAS meeting that has been blogged about by others who are posting the ongoing results from this meeting:

Blue blobs in the M81 group.

I don't want this to seem like sour grapes, but I am trying to point out in various places where I've seen this pop up that not only was this *exact same* result presented during the 2003 AAS meeting, but there was a press release then, too:

2003 AAS abstract on these same blue blobs

Press release issued prior to 2003 AAS meeting.

A quick comparison of the images suggests that the 2008 blue blobs are not the exact same ones as the 2003 blue blobs, but still it seems to be pretty bad form to announce this startling new discovery that does not seem to be startling nor new.
