Default [Steam] L4D2 pre-load started!?

Just went into my steam acccount and for the heck of it clicked on the L4D2 pre-order and it had the option to pre-load. Didn't see anything about it yet, so hope this is not a re-post.

Cant wait for next week!

They did this to me with the L4D2 demo. I pre-loaded two days before, and it wound up pre-loading at least three more times before the demo launched.
