no, mike, we don't "become upset and rant and rave." we post a simple question, asking if there *is* any ETA for the next beta. which is a perfectly reasonable question, particularly when a specific release date has already been advertised.
see the difference?
The difference is that asking it every day to get an answer of 'not yet, we are still working on it.' is annoying and after a while abusive. It also gets you added to kill files.
well, let's see here. give that my pine sent-mail folder shows that i asked about this on exactly two occasions this month:
1) mon, aug 11, making it clear that i was *not* asking when the next beta would be out, but more specifically if i was remembering correctly that there had in fact been an advertised ETA, and
2) tue, aug 25, asking about an ETA since the clearly-advertised ETA was in fact days passed (making such a query eminently reasonable, IMHO),
we can quickly conclude two things:
a) i most certainly have *not* been asking every day (and i'm not responsible for others' posts in this thread), and
b) you're a jerk for suggesting i did, and i'd be just pleased as punch to be in your kill file. file away.
it's been a long, tiring week, and i just have no patience for snotty, patronizing condescension at the moment.
