Which leads to another unsquashed rumor that MM has cut down on so much staff
that they can't add a lot of people to this beta.

1000% true. MM's email has content problems, sending problems and more. Their
marketing serves more to obscure the simple meaning of something than to explain
it (Judith has called them many times to get clear information on concepts and
at least one answer was "we don't know"), and their public relations, especially
with their developer community is (comments here removed as I'm already going to
get into trouble)

I wouldn't mind being rejected if it was because I didn't have enough Java,
Flash, whatever experience. As is, I'm hearing from people with all that and
more who were rejected. If the cream of the CF community is not included in the
beta, then who is?

I fault them for not knowing whats going on in their communities, be they
outside like the lists (HoF, CFDJ, CFCDev, etc) or inside like their usergroups
and such.
