"Buggy beta"? Isn't that what you expect from betas? > I've been on this list a long time. We beat them up pretty good for sending > out > buggy beta's. Telling them how to act responsibly. It appears they took our > advice. Sorry, but I don't remember that discussion. We took them to task for surprising us with a major release when we thought we were testing the next in a series of 2.x releases. But, either way, I don't think anyone ever complained about being told when approximately we should expect the next beta or what new features we might expect to have in it. I also don't think anyone ever complained about being given a general picture of what we might see coming over the next several months. > IMHO we are getting the fruits of our ______ insert your own words > here for the translations can be different... Dean, I'm sorry, but I find this hard to credit. I might be wrong, but I don't think that this is what is going on here. And I also think that you are reading a heck of a lot into Marck's very terse response. > This of course is my perception of the immense conversations that have been > had > regarding this subject over the last several months. > No disrespect was intended on my part. Just the facts as I saw them :) Absolutely no disrespect intended on my part either - not for you and not for Marck. -- Avi Yashar Windows XP Pro SP2 and The Bat!
