Unfortunately, no. I'm not the one doing the tests. If that person wants to say something, then I'll let them. I can say that things are looking pretty good, but to put a deadline on something that has taken *way too long* (no fault of anyone) due to all of the issues (licensing, access, licensing, free time, etc...), waiting a bit longer surely won't make that much difference. However, having been involved with this probject, I can say that *IF* something is said, then expectations get much higher, and if they are not met people get upset. So, if the posting are made using vague generalities, the userbase can't be disappointed, since there are no expectations. Everything that gets done is a huge suprise that makes everyone happy, both developers and users. :) :) :) :) Nate ps. In case it wasn't obvious, the above was a tiny bit of seriousness wrapped up with a lot of sarcasm with the intent of being humerous.
