You seem to have the term 'beta release' confused with 'release'. A beta is a release with lots of bugs, that's still in testing phase. It is not a release where alot of things are going to change, or where suggestions are going to be too helpful. The company that puts it out just wants to know what bugs are there, and how to fix 'em. Would you feel comfortable giving a beta release to someone doing something sensitive who didn't quite understand that is was really a beta and not supposed be used w/ senstive things? BTW, would you care to elaborate on 'and you can give lessons in ignoring *them*'?? -Mike
