Good Job.

Isn't that what test releases are for... testing.

If people have access to a large R&D environment, what better place to 
run test
releases. If nobody ever ran the test releases in a real environment, 
many critical
problems would never be found.

If someone in my R&D department wasn't willing to test new products, I 
would
fire him. We test pre release software all the time and if it looks 
promising we
help test and provide patches when we can. In this fast changing 
industry, you
have to work to stay on top of advances, you can't just sit back and let 
your
competitors do all the work or they'll eat your lunch.

Just as a side note: I notice you are sending from qmail. I think we 
have been
helping a bit with an SQL backend for qmail. If you work their keep up the
good work, otherwise keep up the good work. :-)

Have a great weekend, I know I will. It is a long weekend here in Canada,
Monday is Turkey Day {Thanksgiving}. :-)

There is a fine line between genius and lunacy, fear not, walk the
line with pride. Not all things will end up as you wanted, but you
will certainly discover things the meek and timid will miss out on.
