Hi Lance, who said you have to join fb :P
It was an idea to be bounced about as to if the central QA team may find it of use for getting more people. have a read of ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg_(Star_Trek)#Assimilation Of course you are volunteers, but we do need more; so do hone your art of getting "volunteers". ;) I hope my humour for acquiring new testers is something you all can have a quiet laugh over :) QA is allowed to have a sense of humour. For non "Trekkies" I apologise. Regards, Phill. On 4 August 2012 01:39, Lance <[email protected]> wrote: > I personally don't do FB.
