They  are  pointless to the point where people are merely stating that
they've installed that particular version. Adding the fact that people
insert  their  physical  location and it's pretty obvious that they're
not really giving beta test input.

They  find  it  amusing,  so  you have a thread with a couple o people
testing  bugfixes  and  a  douzen  saying  that  they've installed the
version  and  it  runs  (what  else  could  be  expected  from  a beta
version?)
